Step-by-Step Instructions for Chicken Lo Mein
  1. Prepare all ingredients: chop bell peppers, slice carrots, and finely chop green onions. Cook lo mein noodles in a large pot of boiling water until al dente, about 5-6 minutes. Drain and set aside with a drizzle of oil.
  2. In a large skillet or wok, heat 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil over medium-high heat. Add boneless chicken breasts cut into strips and sauté for about 6-8 minutes until golden brown and cooked through. Keep warm on a plate.
  3. Add another tablespoon of oil into the skillet and stir-fry the bell peppers and carrots for 3-4 minutes until tender-crisp. Add green onions and cook for an additional minute.
  4. Return the cooked chicken to the skillet with the vegetables. Add the noodles, soy sauce, a splash of sesame oil, and minced garlic. Toss everything for 2-3 minutes until well combined and heated through.
  5. Remove from heat, plate the Chicken Lo Mein, and serve hot, adding more soy sauce for extra flavor if desired.
