Main Ingredients

  • 3-4 pieces boneless, skinless chicken breasts Choose organic for better flavor and tenderness.
  • 8 oz Lo Mein noodles (fresh or dried) Ensure not to overcook; al dente is key.
  • 1 piece red bell pepper Chopped into bite-sized pieces.
  • 1 piece yellow bell pepper Chopped into bite-sized pieces.
  • 2 pieces carrots (thinly sliced)
  • 2 pieces green onions (chopped)
  • 1/4 cup low-sodium soy sauce Alternative: gluten-free soy sauce.
  • 1 tablespoon sesame oil
  • 3 cloves fresh minced garlic

Instructions
 

Preparation

  • Chop all the vegetables into bite-sized pieces.
  • Cook the Lo Mein noodles according to the package instructions until al dente, then drain and set aside.

Cooking

  • Heat a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat.
  • Add sesame oil and sauté the chicken until golden brown and fully cooked, about 6-8 minutes. Remove the chicken from the skillet.
  • In the same skillet, stir-fry the bell peppers, carrots, and green onions until they are tender yet still crisp, about 3-4 minutes.
  • Return the cooked chicken to the skillet, along with the cooked noodles, soy sauce, minced garlic, and any additional spices you like.
  • Toss everything together until well combined and serve hot. Add extra soy sauce on the side if desired.

Notes

Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to three days. Reheat in a skillet over medium heat or microwave in short intervals.
