Ingredients

Scale
  • 34 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (thinly sliced)

  • 8 oz Lo Mein noodles (fresh or dried)

  • 1 red bell pepper, sliced

  • 1 yellow bell pepper, sliced

  • 2 carrots, thinly sliced

  • 2 green onions, chopped

  • ¼ cup low-sodium soy sauce

  • 1 tbsp sesame oil

  • 3 cloves garlic, minced

  • 1 tbsp vegetable oil (for stir-frying)

Optional: Add broccoli, snap peas, or mushrooms for extra crunch and color.

Instructions

  • Prep: Slice chicken and veggies. Cook noodles according to package directions until al dente; drain and set aside.

  • Cook Chicken: Heat oil in a large wok or skillet over medium-high heat. Sauté chicken until golden and cooked through (6–8 min). Remove and set aside.

  • Stir-Fry Veggies: In the same pan, toss in bell peppers, carrots, and green onions. Cook 3–4 minutes until tender-crisp.

  • Combine: Return chicken and noodles to the pan. Pour in soy sauce, sesame oil, and garlic. Stir well to coat everything evenly.

  • Serve: Dish up hot, garnished with extra green onions or sesame seeds for a finishing touch.

Notes

  • Marinate chicken in soy sauce and garlic for 1 hour for deeper flavor.

  • Swap in tofu, shrimp, or beef for a twist.

  • Leftovers reheat beautifully — perfect for lunch the next day!
