Description
Easy Chicken Lo Mein is a flavorful, one-pan noodle dish that comes together in under 30 minutes. Tender chicken, crisp vegetables, and soft lo mein noodles are tossed in a savory soy-ginger sauce for a quick weeknight dinner.
Ingredients
2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts, thinly sliced
8 oz lo mein noodles or spaghetti
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
1 red bell pepper, sliced
1 cup broccoli florets
2 carrots, julienned
3 cloves garlic, minced
2 teaspoons fresh ginger, minced
1/4 cup soy sauce
2 tablespoons oyster sauce
1 tablespoon hoisin sauce
1 teaspoon sesame oil
2 green onions, sliced
1 tablespoon cornstarch mixed with 2 tablespoons water (optional)
Instructions
1. Cook lo mein noodles according to package directions, drain, and set aside.
2. Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat.
3. Add chicken slices and cook until lightly browned and cooked through, about 5–6 minutes. Remove chicken and set aside.
4. In the same skillet, add garlic and ginger, sauté for 30 seconds until fragrant.
5. Add bell pepper, broccoli, and carrots, stir-frying 3–4 minutes until vegetables are crisp-tender.
6. Return chicken to the skillet and add cooked noodles. Toss to combine.
7. In a small bowl, mix soy sauce, oyster sauce, hoisin sauce, and sesame oil. Pour over the chicken and noodles, tossing to coat evenly.
8. If a thicker sauce is desired, add cornstarch slurry and cook 1–2 minutes until sauce thickens.
9. Garnish with sliced green onions and serve hot.
Notes
Swap vegetables according to preference.
Use shrimp, beef, or tofu instead of chicken.
Add sesame seeds for extra flavor.
Prepare sauce in advance for quick assembly.
