Recipe Directions
Let’s dive into the simple steps to create this flavorful Chicken Lo Mein:
Cook the lo mein noodles according to the package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
In a large skillet or wok, heat the sesame oil over medium-high heat.
Season the sliced chicken breast with salt and pepper, then add it to the skillet in a single layer.
Cook the chicken for 3-4 minutes per side, or until browned and cooked through. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
In the same skillet, add the minced garlic, sliced red bell pepper, mushrooms, shredded cabbage, and shredded carrots.
Stir-fry the vegetables for 3-4 minutes, or until they are tender-crisp.
In a small bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, oyster sauce, hoisin sauce, rice vinegar, grated ginger, and red pepper flakes (if using).
Return the cooked chicken to the skillet, along with the cooked lo mein noodles and the prepared sauce.
Toss everything together until well coated in the sauce and heated through, about 2-3 minutes.
Remove from heat and garnish with sliced green onions and toasted sesame seeds, if desired.
Serve the Chicken Lo Mein hot and enjoy!

Serving Suggestions
This delicious Chicken Lo Mein is perfect on its own, but you can take it to the next level by serving it with a side of steamed vegetables or a fresh salad for added nutrition and texture. Pair it with a glass of your favorite Asian-inspired beverage such as green tea or lychee iced tea for a complete dining experience. For an extra special touch, serve the Chicken Lo Mein in individual bowls garnished with extra green onions and sesame seeds for a beautiful presentation.
Storing Leftovers
If you happen to have any leftover Chicken Lo Mein, store it in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days. Reheat individual servings in the microwave or on the stovetop until heated through, adding a splash of water or chicken broth if needed to prevent the noodles from drying out.
