Chicken Lo Mein
A quick and delicious one-pan chicken lo mein that combines tender chicken, crisp vegetables, and a flavorful sauce, ready in just 30 minutes.
Ingredients
For the Lo Mein Sauce
- ⅓ cup chicken broth
- 4 tbsp soy sauce (regular or low-sodium)
- 2 tbsp brown sugar
- 2 tsp sesame oil
For the Lo Mein
- 8 oz lo mein noodles, cooked
- 1 tbsp oil (olive, avocado, or sesame)
- 1 lb chicken breast, thinly sliced
- 2 large carrots, sliced
- 1 large onion, sliced
- 2 cups broccoli florets
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
Instructions
Make the sauce
- Whisk chicken broth, soy sauce, brown sugar, and sesame oil until sugar dissolves. Set aside.
Prep ingredients
- Slice chicken and vegetables into uniform 2-inch pieces.
Cook the chicken
- Heat oil in a wok over medium-high. Add chicken and cook until browned. Remove and set aside.
Sauté vegetables
- In the same wok, add onions; cook until softened. Remove, then cook carrots until slightly tender. Add broccoli and garlic, stirring for 2–3 minutes.
Bring it together
- Add chicken and onions back in. Pour sauce over mixture and simmer for 2 minutes.
Add noodles
- Toss cooked noodles into wok until fully coated. Serve immediately.
Notes
This lo mein shines on its own but pairs wonderfully with crispy crab rangoons or spring rolls. For leftovers, undercook the noodles slightly to prevent mushiness when reheated. Store in an airtight container for up to 5 days.
