Ingredients
- 8 oz Lo mein noodles
- 2 pieces Boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 3 tbsp Soy sauce
- 2 tbsp Oyster sauce
- 1.5 tbsp Hoisin sauce
- 1 tbsp Sesame oil
- 2 tbsp Vegetable oil
- 3 cloves Garlic cloves, minced
- 1 tsp Fresh ginger, minced
- 1 cup Carrots, julienned
- 1 cup Bell peppers (red, orange, or yellow), thinly sliced
- 1 cup Snow peas
- 4 stalks Green onions, sliced
- 0.25 cup Water
- 0.25 tsp Salt
- 0.25 tsp Black pepper
Instructions
Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Cook the lo mein noodles according to package instructions. Drain, rinse with cold water, and set aside.
While the noodles cook, thinly slice the chicken breasts into small strips.
In a small bowl, mix together the soy sauce, oyster sauce, hoisin sauce, sesame oil, and water. Set the sauce mixture aside.
Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add the chicken, sprinkle with salt and black pepper, and cook for 4-5 minutes until golden and cooked through. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
Add the remaining 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil to the same skillet. Toss in the minced garlic and ginger, cooking for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
Add the carrots, bell peppers, and snow peas to the skillet. Stir-fry the vegetables for 3-4 minutes until they are slightly tender but still crisp.
Return the cooked chicken to the skillet and pour in the prepared sauce. Stir everything to coat the ingredients evenly.
Add the cooked lo mein noodles to the skillet and toss gently for 2-3 minutes, ensuring the noodles are evenly coated in the sauce and heated through.
Remove the skillet from heat and garnish with the sliced green onions.
Serve immediately, and enjoy your quick and delicious Busy Night Chicken Lo Mein!
