Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 3-4 pieces boneless, skinless chicken breasts Sliced into thin strips for faster cooking.
  • 8 oz Lo Mein noodles Fresh or dried; cook to al dente.
  • 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.
  • 1/4 cup low-sodium soy sauce Use tamari for gluten-free.
  • 1 tablespoon sesame oil
  • 3 cloves fresh minced garlic

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Gather all ingredients and chop vegetables into bite-sized pieces. 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

For best results, slice chicken and vegetables uniformly for even cooking. Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3-4 days. Reheat gently to avoid drying out the noodles.
