Chicken Chow Mein
Chicken Chow Mein is a quick and easy weeknight meal packed with chow mein noodles, juicy chicken, and veggies in a flavorful, savory sauce.
Servings: 4
Ingredients
For the sauce
- ½ cup Chicken broth
- ¼ cup Low sodium soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons Oyster sauce
- 1 tablespoon Granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon Sesame oil
- 1 teaspoon Rice vinegar
- 1 tablespoon Cornstarch
- 2 Garlic cloves minced
- ½ teaspoon Hot pepper flakes optional
For the Stir Fry
- 6 ounce Package chow mein noodles cooked according to package directions and cooled
- 2 tablespoons Oil
- 1 pound Chicken tenderloins sliced into ½” thick pieces
- 3 cups Napa cabbage sliced ¼ inch thick
- 1 Small yellow onion sliced thin
- 1 cup Shredded bagged carrots
- 3 Green onions sliced
- Extra sliced green onion and toasted sesame seeds for garnish
Instructions
- Heat a large saute pan or wok over medium high heat.
- While pan is heating, combine all sauce ingredients in a small bowl and set aside.
- Add 1 tablespoon of oil to the hot pan and then the chicken and cook, stirring often until cooked through and lightly browned, about 4-5 minutes, remove to a plate.
- Add the remaining tablespoon of oil to the pan and once hot, add in the cabbage, onion, and carrots and cook until just al dente about, 3 minutes.
- Add the chicken back into the pan along with the sauce and bring it up to a simmer. Once the sauce thickens, about 2-3 minutes add in the noodles and use tongs to toss everything together until evenly coated in the sauce.
- Remove from heat and garnish with extra green onions and toasted sesame seeds if desired. Serve immediately.
Notes
Chicken Chow mein is best when served fresh, as the noodles tend to break apart when reheating. Reheat leftovers in a covered large saucepan on low heat, adding in a splash of chicken broth to help loosen the sauce and create some steam. Cook until just reheated.
If you can't find Chow mein noodles you could substitute with thin spaghetti, instant ramen (just discard the seasoning packets) or lo mein noodles.
