Chicken Lo Mein Recipe
Description
The Chicken Lo Mein recipe starts by whisking together soy sauce, oyster sauce, and sesame oil to form a savory sauce. Lo mein noodles are cooked according to package instructions and set aside. Chicken breast strips are seasoned and pan-seared until browned and cooked through, then removed from the pan.
A second stage sauté softens onions and almost softens the mixed vegetables—snow peas, shredded carrots, sliced red bell pepper, and mushrooms—followed by garlic to enhance the aroma. The cooked noodles, chicken, and sauce are then combined in the skillet and stirred until the sauce thickens slightly and coats everything evenly. Green onions garnish the dish before serving.
The interplay of tender chicken with crisp vegetables and chewy noodles results in a satisfying texture. The sauce blends salty, slightly sweet, and nutty elements from soy, oyster sauce, and sesame oil, typical of lo mein. It can be served as a standalone main meal suitable for lunch or dinner.
Leftovers can be refrigerated in an airtight container for up to 3 days or frozen for longer storage. Reheating gently helps maintain texture and flavor without drying the dish.
Ingredients
- 3 tablespoons soy sauce
- 3 tablespoons oyster sauce
- 1 teaspoon sesame oil
- 8 ounces lo mein noodles
- 2 tablespoons olive oil divided
- 1 pound chicken breast sliced into small strips, boneless, skinless
- ¼ cup onion chopped
- 2 cloves garlic minced
- 1 cup snow peas
- 1 cup carrot shredded
- 1 red bell pepper sliced into strips
- 8 ounces mushrooms sliced
- green onion sliced
Instructions
- Whisk together the soy sauce, oyster sauce, and sesame oil in a small dish. Set aside.
- Cook the noodles according to package directions.
- In a large skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium-high heat. Add in the chicken and season with salt and pepper. Cook for 5-7 minutes until browned on all sides and cooked through. Transfer the chicken to a clean plate.
- Add in another tablespoon of olive oil and cook the onion for a couple minutes until soft. Stir in the snow peas, carrots, bell pepper, and mushrooms. Sauté for 3-4 minutes until they begin to soften. Add in the garlic and cook for another minute.
- Add in the noodles, chicken, and sauce. Give the mixture a good stir and cook for a minute or two until the sauce thickens.
- Sprinkle with sliced green onion and serve.
Notes
- Store leftover Chicken Lo Mein in airtight containers; keep refrigerated up to 3 days or freeze for up to 3 months.
- When reheating, warm gently to preserve noodle texture and sauce consistency.
