Chicken Chow Mein is a quick and flavorful Chinese-American stir-fry dish made with tender chicken, crisp vegetables, and noodles tossed in a savory sauce. It’s a satisfying homemade alternative to takeout, perfect for weeknight dinners.

Ingredients

  • 1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breast or thighs, thinly sliced
  • 8 oz chow mein noodles or thin egg noodles
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon oyster sauce
  • 1 tablespoon hoisin sauce (optional)
  • 1 teaspoon sesame oil
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon fresh ginger, minced
  • 1 carrot, julienned
  • 1 cup cabbage, shredded
  • 1 bell pepper, thinly sliced
  • 2 green onions, chopped
  • 2 tablespoons neutral oil (vegetable or canola)
  • Salt and pepper, to taste

Instructions

  1. Cook the noodles according to package instructions, drain, and set aside.
  2. In a small bowl, whisk together soy sauce, oyster sauce, sesame oil, and hoisin sauce (if using). Set aside.
  3. Heat 1 tablespoon of oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add the chicken, season with salt and pepper, and cook until browned and cooked through. Remove from the pan and set aside.
  4. Add remaining oil to the pan if needed. Stir-fry garlic and ginger for 30 seconds until fragrant.
  5. Add carrots, cabbage, and bell peppers. Stir-fry for 3–4 minutes until slightly tender but still crisp.
  6. Return the chicken to the pan. Add the cooked noodles and pour in the sauce. Toss everything together until well coated and heated through.
  7. Top with chopped green onions and serve hot.

Notes

For spicier chow mein, add chili garlic sauce or red pepper flakes to the sauce.Swap in tofu or extra veggies for a vegetarian version.Use tamari and gluten-free noodles for a gluten-free option.Use rotisserie chicken or leftover grilled chicken to save time.Double the sauce if you prefer extra saucy noodles.
