Ingredients

Scale

Protein

  • 34 boneless, skinless chicken breasts

Noodles

  • Lo Mein noodles (fresh or dried, about 8 oz)

Vegetables

  • 1 red bell pepper, sliced
  • 1 yellow bell pepper, sliced
  • 2 carrots, thinly sliced
  • 2 green onions, chopped

Sauces and Oils

  • ¼ cup low-sodium soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon sesame oil

Others

  • 3 cloves fresh garlic, minced

Instructions

  1. Prepare Ingredients: Gather all ingredients and chop the vegetables into bite-sized pieces. Cook the Lo Mein noodles according to package instructions until al dente, then drain and set aside.
  2. Cook Chicken: Heat a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add the sesame oil and sauté the chicken breasts until they turn golden brown and are fully cooked through, about 6-8 minutes. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
  3. Stir-Fry Vegetables: In the same pan, add the sliced red and yellow bell peppers, carrots, and chopped green onions. Stir-fry these vegetables until they become tender but still crisp, which usually takes about 3-4 minutes.
  4. Combine and Toss: Return the cooked chicken to the skillet with the vegetables. Add the cooked Lo Mein noodles, low-sodium soy sauce, minced garlic, and any optional additional spices or seasonings you prefer. Toss everything together thoroughly over medium heat until well combined and heated through.
  5. Serve: Serve the Chicken Lo Mein hot, optionally garnished with extra green onions or a drizzle of soy sauce for added flavor.

Notes

  • Use low-sodium soy sauce to keep the sodium content moderate.
  • Fresh Lo Mein noodles give the best texture, but dried noodles work well as a substitute.
  • Feel free to add other veggies like snap peas or mushrooms for more variety.
  • Cook chicken thoroughly to an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C) for food safety.
  • This dish reheats well and can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
