Easy Chicken Chow Mein is a quick, flavorful stir-fry made with juicy chicken, crisp vegetables, and chewy noodles tossed in a savory sauce. It’s a satisfying takeout-style meal you can make at home in under 30 minutes.

Ingredients

  • 8 oz chow mein noodles or thin egg noodles
  • 1 lb chicken breast or thighs, thinly sliced
  • 2 tbsp soy sauce
  • 1 tbsp oyster sauce
  • 1 tsp sesame oil
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tsp fresh ginger, grated
  • 1 carrot, julienned
  • 1 cup cabbage, shredded
  • 1 bell pepper, thinly sliced
  • 2 green onions, sliced
  • 2 tbsp vegetable oil
  • Salt and black pepper, to taste

Instructions

  1. Cook noodles according to package instructions. Drain and rinse under cold water. Set aside.
  2. Heat 1 tbsp oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add sliced chicken and stir-fry for 4–5 minutes until fully cooked. Remove from pan and set aside.
  3. Add remaining oil to the pan. Stir-fry garlic and ginger for 30 seconds until fragrant.
  4. Add carrots, cabbage, and bell pepper. Stir-fry for 3–4 minutes until just tender.
  5. Return chicken to the pan. Add noodles, soy sauce, oyster sauce, and sesame oil.
  6. Toss everything together until noodles are well coated and heated through. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  7. Top with sliced green onions and serve hot.

Notes

  • Use pre-shredded coleslaw mix to save prep time.
  • Substitute chicken with shrimp, tofu, or beef for variation.
  • Add sriracha or chili flakes for a spicy kick.
  • Use hoisin sauce if you don’t have oyster sauce.
  • Rinsing noodles with cold water helps prevent sticking.
