A quick and easy chicken lo mein recipe with tender chicken, crisp vegetables, and flavorful sauce.

  • Total Time: 30 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • 34 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • Lo Mein noodles (fresh or dried)
  • 1 red bell pepper
  • 1 yellow bell pepper
  • 2 carrots (thinly sliced)
  • 2 green onions (chopped)
  • ¼ cup low-sodium soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon sesame oil
  • 3 cloves fresh minced garlic

Instructions

  1. Gather all ingredients and chop vegetables into bite-sized pieces. Cook lo mein noodles according to package instructions until al dente; drain and set aside.
  2. 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.
  3. In the same pan, stir-fry bell peppers, carrots, and green onions until tender yet crisp, about 3-4 minutes.
  4. Return cooked chicken to the skillet with vegetables. Add lo mein noodles, soy sauce, sesame oil, minced garlic, and any additional spices. Toss everything together until well mixed.
  5. Serve hot with extra soy sauce if desired.

Notes

  • You can substitute lo mein noodles with spaghetti or other thin noodles.
  • Velveting the chicken helps keep it tender.
  • Frozen vegetables can be used but may need longer cooking time.
  • Adjust sauce thickness by adding a cornstarch slurry or water.
