Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 8 ounces Rice noodles
- 1 pound Skinless chicken breast
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 3 tablespoons Low-sodium soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon Oyster sauce
- 1 teaspoon Fresh ginger, minced
- 2 cloves Garlic cloves, minced
- 1 medium Red bell pepper, thinly sliced
- 2 cups Bok choy, chopped
- 3 pieces Green onions, sliced
- 1 cup Bean sprouts
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
Instructions
Soak the rice noodles in warm water according to the package instructions, usually about 20 minutes or until softened. Drain and set aside.
Slice the chicken breast into thin strips. Season with salt and black pepper.
In a large non-stick skillet or wok, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium-high heat.
Add the chicken strips to the skillet and stir-fry until just cooked through, about 5-6 minutes. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
In the same skillet, add the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Stir in the minced ginger and garlic, cooking until fragrant, about 1 minute.
Add the sliced red bell pepper to the skillet and stir-fry for 2-3 minutes until slightly softened.
Stir in the chopped bok choy and cook for another 2 minutes.
In a small bowl, mix the low-sodium soy sauce and oyster sauce. Pour the mixture into the skillet and add the drained rice noodles.
Return the cooked chicken to the skillet, tossing everything together to coat evenly with the sauce.
Stir in the sliced green onions and bean sprouts. Cook for another minute until the entire dish is heated through.
Serve hot and enjoy this heart-healthy Chicken Chow Fun.
