🍜 This Chicken Chow Mein Recipe features tender chicken and crisp vegetables tossed in a classic homemade sauce for a deliciously balanced meal.
πŸ₯’ The vibrant mix of noodles, fresh veggies, and savory sauce offers a comforting yet fresh dish perfect for any weeknight dinner.

  • Total Time: 35 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings

Ingredients

– 1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breast

– 3 tablespoons olive oil

– 12 oz uncooked chow mein noodles

– 2 cups cabbage

– 1 large carrot, julienned

– Half a bunch of green onions

– 2 garlic cloves

– 4 tablespoons oyster sauce (adjust to taste)

– 3 tablespoons granulated sugar

– 3 tablespoons light sesame oil (not toasted)

– Half a cup soy sauce

– 1 tablespoon chicken broth

– 1 tablespoon cornstarch

Instructions

1-First, prepare all ingredients by slicing the chicken breast into bite-sized strips, julienning the carrot, and chopping the cabbage and garlic. Cook the noodles according to package instructions, then drain and rinse with cold water to keep them from sticking.

2-Next, heat the olive oil in a large wok or pan over medium heat. Add the sliced chicken and cook until it’s golden brown and fully done, which takes about 5-7 minutes. Once ready, remove the chicken and set it aside to keep it tender.

3-Then, in the same pan, sautΓ© the carrots, cabbage, and garlic for a few minutes until the vegetables soften slightly and the cabbage turns translucent. This step brings out their natural sweetness and adds crunch to the dish.

4-After that, return the cooked chicken and noodles to the pan. Pour in the prepared sauce and toss everything together for about 2 minutes to ensure the flavors meld perfectly.

5-Finally, garnish with chopped green onions and serve the dish while it’s hot for the best taste. Remember to taste and adjust seasoning as needed for your preferences.
