Chicken Lo Mein is a classic Chinese-American noodle dish featuring tender chicken, crisp vegetables, and chewy noodles tossed in a savory, slightly sweet sauce. It’s quick, customizable, and better than takeout!

Ingredients

  • 1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breasts or thighs, thinly sliced
  • 8 oz lo mein noodles (or spaghetti/linguine)
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon oyster sauce
  • 1 tablespoon hoisin sauce
  • 1 teaspoon sesame oil
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon fresh ginger, grated
  • 1 tablespoon brown sugar
  • 1 carrot, julienned
  • 1 bell pepper, thinly sliced
  • 1 cup snow peas or snap peas
  • 1 cup shredded cabbage
  • 2 green onions, chopped
  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Cook lo mein noodles according to package instructions. Drain and toss with a bit of sesame oil to prevent sticking. Set aside.
  2. In a small bowl, whisk together soy sauce, oyster sauce, hoisin sauce, sesame oil, brown sugar, garlic, and ginger. Set the sauce aside.
  3. Heat 1 tablespoon vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add the sliced chicken and cook until browned and fully cooked through, about 5–6 minutes. Remove from skillet and set aside.
  4. Add remaining oil to the skillet and stir-fry the carrots, bell peppers, snow peas, and cabbage for 3–4 minutes until crisp-tender.
  5. Return the cooked chicken to the skillet. Add noodles and pour in the sauce.
  6. Toss everything together until the noodles and chicken are evenly coated and heated through.
  7. Garnish with chopped green onions and serve hot.

Notes

Swap chicken for shrimp, beef, or tofu to change up the protein.Add broccoli, mushrooms, or zucchini for extra vegetables.Use chili flakes or sriracha for added spice.Toss noodles in sesame oil after cooking to keep them from clumping.Use gluten-free noodles and tamari for a gluten-free version.
