INSTRUCTIONS

Cook lo mein noodles according to package directions for al dente. Drain and set aside.
10 ounces lo mein noodles
While the pasta is cooking, toss the chicken pieces with salt, pepper, and sesame oil in a large bowl.
1 pound boneless skinless chicken breast, 1 teaspoon salt, ¼ teaspoon ground black pepper, 1 tablespoon sesame oil
Heat a deep skillet over medium-high heat and add the prepared chicken to the pan and cook until done, about 3 to 4 minutes.
Add the garlic and ginger in and cook for 1 additional minute, stirring constantly so the garlic and ginger don't burn.
1 tablespoon garlic paste, 1 tablespoon ginger paste
Remove the cooked chicken from the pan and set aside.
Add olive oil and carrots and peppers to the pan and cook for 3 minutes, then add the peas and mushrooms and cook for 2 additional minutes, stirring frequently.
2 tablespoon olive oil, 1½ cups carrots , 1 red bell pepper , 6 ounces snow peas, 3.5 ounces shiitake mushrooms
While the veggies are cooking, whisk together the sauce ingredients in a medium bowl. Set aside.
¼ cup chicken broth, 4 tablespoons low sodium soy sauce, 2 tablespoons light brown sugar , 1 tablespoon hoisin sauce, 1 tablespoon oyster sauce, 1 teaspoon corn starch, 1 teaspoon sesame oil
Add the chicken and pasta back to the skillet with the vegetables.
Add in the sauce and toss to coat. Cook for an additional 3 to 5 minutes so the sauce thickens slightly and everything is heated through.
Garnish with green onions if desired.

NOTES

How To Store: Store any leftover Chicken Lo Mein in the refrigerator in an airtight container. Enjoy for up to 3 to 4 days!
How Do You Recommend Heating Up The Leftovers? I'd just pop them in the microwave for 3 to 5 minutes, stirring after every minute or so.
Can I Use Regular Noodles In This Recipe? You can, but it will throw off the final taste and texture of the recipe!
Could I Use Chicken Thighs Instead Of Chicken Breast In This Dish? You sure can! Just simply swap the chicken breast out for thighs and then continue on with the recipe instructions.
