Chicken Lo Mein is a quick and flavorful stir-fry dish made with tender chicken, crisp vegetables, and bouncy noodles tossed in a savory, slightly sweet sauce. A perfect weeknight dinner that comes together in under 30 minutes.

Ingredients

  • 1 tablespoon canola oil
  • 1 pound chicken breasts, thinly sliced
  • 1 cup shredded carrots
  • 1 bell pepper, thinly sliced
  • 1 cup snap peas or snow peas
  • 1/2 cup sliced green onions
  • 2 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 teaspoon fresh ginger, grated
  • 8 oz lo mein noodles (or spaghetti)
  • 3 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 2 tablespoons oyster sauce
  • 1 tablespoon hoisin sauce
  • 1 tablespoon sesame oil
  • 1/4 cup water
  • 1 teaspoon cornstarch (optional, for thickening)

Instructions

  1. Cook noodles according to package instructions. Drain and set aside.
  2. Whisk together soy sauce, oyster sauce, hoisin sauce, sesame oil, water, and cornstarch (if using) to make the sauce.
  3. Heat canola oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat.
  4. Add chicken and cook for 4–5 minutes until browned and cooked through. Remove and set aside.
  5. In the same pan, stir-fry garlic, ginger, carrots, bell pepper, and snap peas for 2–3 minutes until tender-crisp.
  6. Return chicken to the pan, add noodles, and pour in the sauce.
  7. Toss everything together for 2–3 minutes until well coated and heated through.
  8. Garnish with green onions and serve hot.

Notes

  • Swap chicken with shrimp, beef, tofu, or extra veggies for variety.
  • Use chili garlic sauce or red pepper flakes for a spicy kick.
  • Low-sodium soy sauce can reduce saltiness.
  • Use spaghetti, ramen, or udon as noodle alternatives.
  • Reheat leftovers with a splash of water or soy sauce to revive the texture.
