Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 3-4 pieces boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- Lo Mein noodles (fresh or dried)
- 1 piece red bell pepper
- 1 piece yellow bell pepper
- 2 pieces carrots (thinly sliced)
- 2 pieces green onions (chopped)
- 1/4 cup low-sodium soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon sesame oil
- 3 cloves fresh minced garlic
Instructions
Preparation
- Gather all ingredients and chop the vegetables into bite-sized pieces.
- Cook the Lo Mein noodles according to package instructions until al dente; drain and set aside.
Cooking
- Heat a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add oil and sauté the chicken until golden brown and fully cooked, about 6-8 minutes. Remove from skillet.
- In the same pan, stir-fry the bell peppers, carrots, and green onions until tender yet crisp, about 3-4 minutes.
- Return the cooked chicken to the skillet with the vegetables. Add the Lo Mein noodles, soy sauce, sesame oil, minced garlic, and any additional spices. Toss everything together until well mixed.
Serving
- Serve hot with extra soy sauce if desired.
Notes
Make sure not to overcook the noodles to prevent them from getting mushy. Feel free to add other vegetables like broccoli or snap peas to boost nutrition. For added flavor, marinate the chicken in soy sauce and garlic for 20-30 minutes before cooking.
