Step-by-Step Instructions for Chicken Lo Mein

• Begin by gathering all your ingredients and chopping the bell pepper, carrot, and green onions into bite-sized pieces. Next, cook the 350 g lo mein noodles according to the package instructions until they are al dente, usually around 4-5 minutes. Once done, drain and rinse the noodles under cold water to stop the cooking process, setting them aside for later.
• Heat a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat, adding 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil. Once the oil is shimmering, add the two boneless chicken breasts, cooking them until they are golden brown on both sides and fully cooked through, which should take about 6-8 minutes. Once cooked, remove the chicken from the skillet and let it rest on a cutting board for easier slicing.
• In the same skillet, if necessary, add another tablespoon of oil. Add the chopped bell pepper, carrot, and green onions to the hot skillet. Stir-fry the vegetables for about 3-4 minutes, or until they are tender yet still crisp, showcasing their vibrant colors. This step infuses the Chicken Lo Mein with fresh flavors that complement the proteins beautifully.
• Return the sliced cooked chicken to the skillet with the sautéed vegetables. Next, add in the cooked lo mein noodles, 3 tablespoons of soy sauce, 1 tablespoon of sesame oil, minced garlic, and any optional spices you may want to include. Toss everything together with tongs or a spatula until it’s well mixed and heated through, ensuring each noodle is coated with those delicious flavors.
• Once everything is mixed well and heated for about 1-2 minutes, it’s time to plate your Chicken Lo Mein. Serve it hot right away, drizzling extra soy sauce on top if desired for added flavor. Enjoy this vibrant, savory dish that rivals any takeout meal, perfect for family dinners or cozy evenings at home!
