Ingredients
Scale
Chicken and Noodles
- 1 lb cooked chicken, sliced
- 8 oz lo mein noodles
Sauce
- ¼ cup honey
- ¼ cup soy sauce
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tbsp ginger, minced
Vegetables and Seasoning
- 2 cups mixed vegetables (e.g., bell peppers, broccoli, and carrots)
- 2 tbsp vegetable oil
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Green onions (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
- Cook Noodles: Prepare the lo mein noodles according to the package instructions. Once cooked, drain the noodles thoroughly and set them aside to prevent sticking.
- Sauté Aromatics: Heat the vegetable oil in a large pan or wok over medium-high heat. Add the minced garlic and ginger, sautéing for about 30 seconds until fragrant but not browned to build flavor.
- Cook Vegetables and Chicken: Add the mixed vegetables to the pan and stir-fry until they become tender yet still crisp, approximately 3 to 4 minutes. Next, incorporate the cooked sliced chicken, honey, and soy sauce into the pan, stirring well to coat everything evenly in the sauce.
- Toss with Noodles: Add the cooked lo mein noodles to the pan. Toss all the ingredients together thoroughly until everything is heated through and flavors meld. Adjust seasoning by adding salt and pepper to taste.
- Garnish and Serve: Serve the lo mein hot, garnished with sliced green onions if desired for an added fresh crunch and color.
Notes
- Use pre-cooked chicken or leftover chicken to speed up preparation time.
- Feel free to swap mixed vegetables with whatever you have on hand, such as snap peas or mushrooms.
- For gluten-free, substitute soy sauce with tamari or coconut aminos.
- Adjust the honey quantity to control sweetness based on personal preference.
- Ensure noodles are well drained to prevent the dish from becoming soggy.
