Ingredients
Protein & Vegetables
- 3–4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into thin strips
- 1 red bell pepper, sliced
- 1 yellow bell pepper, sliced
- 2 carrots, thinly sliced
- 2 green onions, chopped
Noodles
- Lo Mein noodles, fresh or dried (about 8–10 ounces)
Sauce Ingredients
- ¼ cup low-sodium soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon sesame oil
- 3 cloves garlic, freshly minced
- Optional: pinch of black pepper, crushed red pepper, or a drizzle of oyster sauce
Instructions
Gather all ingredients and slice the vegetables into uniform pieces for even cooking. Prepare the lo mein noodles according to package directions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
Step 2: Cook the ChickenHeat a tablespoon of oil in a wok or large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the sliced chicken breasts and sauté for 6–8 minutes, or until fully cooked and golden. Remove from the pan.
Step 3: Stir-Fry the VegetablesIn the same pan, add another splash of oil if needed. Toss in the bell peppers, carrots, and green onions. Cook for 3–4 minutes, stirring often, until crisp-tender.
Step 4: Combine & TossAdd the cooked chicken back into the skillet. Add the cooked lo mein noodles, soy sauce, sesame oil, minced garlic, and any optional seasonings. Toss thoroughly until the noodles are coated and everything is heated through.
Step 5: Serve
Serve immediately while hot. You may add extra soy sauce or sesame seeds on top if desired.
Notes
- Feel free to swap noodles for spaghetti in a pinch.
- Add fresh ginger for extra aroma and depth.
- Adjust soy sauce depending on your salt preference.
