Chicken Chow Mein Recipe

Ingredients

For the Chicken and Vegetables:

• 1 lb chicken breasts, thinly sliced
• 2 cups crispy chow mein noodles
• 1 cup cabbage, shredded
• 1 cup carrots, julienned
• 1/2 cup green onions, chopped
• 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 tablespoon ginger, minced

For the Sauce:
(You didn’t include the sauce ingredients—here’s a standard version you can use)

• 1/4 cup soy sauce
• 2 tablespoons oyster sauce
• 1 tablespoon hoisin sauce
• 1 teaspoon sesame oil
• 1/4 cup chicken broth
• 1 teaspoon cornstarch mixed with 1 tablespoon water (optional, for thickening)

Instructions

1. Prepare the Sauce: In a small bowl, whisk together soy sauce, oyster sauce, hoisin sauce, sesame oil, and chicken broth. Set aside.
2. Cook the Chicken: Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add the chicken and cook until no longer pink, about 4–5 minutes. Remove chicken from skillet and set aside.
3. Sauté Vegetables: Add the remaining 1 tablespoon oil to the skillet. Stir-fry garlic and ginger for 30 seconds until fragrant. Add cabbage, carrots, and green onions, and stir-fry for 2–3 minutes until slightly tender.
4. Combine Chicken and Sauce: Return chicken to the skillet. Pour in the sauce and stir to coat everything evenly. Cook for another 2–3 minutes until the sauce thickens slightly.
5. Serve: Remove from heat and top with crispy chow mein noodles just before serving. Toss gently and serve immediately.
