Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 3-4 pieces boneless, skinless chicken breasts Slice thinly for even cooking.
  • 8 ounces Lo Mein noodles (fresh or dried) Cook according to package instructions.
  • 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.
  • ¼ cup low-sodium soy sauce Adjust to taste.
  • 1 tablespoon sesame oil Add at the end for aroma.
  • 3 cloves fresh minced garlic

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Gather all ingredients and chop vegetables into bite-sized pieces.
  2. Cook lo mein noodles according to package instructions until al dente; drain and set aside.
Cooking
  1. 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.
  2. In the same pan, stir-fry bell peppers, carrots, and green onions until tender yet crisp, about 3-4 minutes.
  3. 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.
  4. Serve hot with extra soy sauce if desired.

Notes

Garnish with extra chopped green onions, a sprinkle of toasted sesame seeds, or a drizzle of chili oil for heat. Pair with steamed broccoli or egg rolls for a fuller meal. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days.
