Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 3-4 pieces boneless, skinless chicken breasts Versatile and cooks quickly. Avoid overcooking.
  • lbs Lo Mein noodles (fresh or dried) Fresh gives the best texture; dried is convenient.
  • 1 unit red bell pepper Opt for bright, firm peppers.
  • 1 unit yellow bell pepper Can use different colored peppers for variety.
  • 2 pieces carrots (thinly sliced) Chop into bite-sized pieces for even cooking.
  • 2 pieces green onions (chopped) Adds freshness and flavor.
  • ¼ cup low-sodium soy sauce Controls saltiness while maintaining rich flavor.
  • 1 tablespoon sesame oil Adds umami richness.
  • 3 cloves fresh minced garlic

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Gather all ingredients and chop vegetables into bite-sized pieces for even cooking.
  2. Cook the lo mein noodles according to package instructions until they are al dente; drain them well and set aside to cool.
Cooking
  1. Heat a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add a splash of oil and sauté the chicken until golden brown and fully cooked, about 6-8 minutes. Stir occasionally for even cooking. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
  2. In the same pan, add an extra splash of oil if needed, then stir-fry the bell peppers, carrots, and green onions until tender yet crisp, about 3-4 minutes.
  3. Return the cooked chicken to the skillet along with the vegetables. Add the lo mein noodles, soy sauce, sesame oil, and minced garlic. Toss everything together until well combined.
  4. Serve hot with extra soy sauce on the side if desired.

Notes

Don’t crowd the pan while cooking; prep ahead to save time on busy nights. This dish is easily customizable for varying tastes.
