Ingredients

Scale

Protein

  • 3–4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts

Noodles

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

Vegetables

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

Sauce & Seasoning

  • ¼ cup low-sodium soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon sesame oil
  • 3 cloves fresh garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon vegetable or canola oil (for cooking)

Instructions

  1. Prepare Ingredients: Gather all ingredients. Chop the bell peppers, carrots, and green onions into bite-sized pieces. Mince the garlic. Cook the lo mein noodles according to package instructions until al dente, drain, and set aside.
  2. Cook Chicken: Heat a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add vegetable oil, then sauté the chicken breasts until they are golden brown on the outside and fully cooked through, approximately 6-8 minutes. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
  3. Stir-Fry Vegetables: In the same skillet, add bell peppers, carrots, and green onions. Stir-fry for about 3-4 minutes until the vegetables are tender but still crisp.
  4. Combine & Season: Return the cooked chicken to the skillet with the vegetables. Add the cooked lo mein noodles, soy sauce, sesame oil, and minced garlic. Toss everything together thoroughly to combine and heat through, allowing the sauce to coat the noodles and ingredients evenly.
  5. Serve: Serve the chicken lo mein hot, optionally with extra soy sauce on the side for added flavor.

Notes

  • For a spicier twist, add a teaspoon of chili garlic sauce or red pepper flakes when tossing the noodles.
  • Substitute chicken breasts with tofu or beef strips to vary the protein.
  • Using fresh lo mein noodles will give the best texture, but dried noodles work well too.
  • Low-sodium soy sauce helps control salt content; adjust to taste.
  • Leftovers keep well refrigerated for up to 3 days.
