Description
Chicken Chow Mein is a delicious and hearty dish that combines tender chicken, fresh vegetables, and chow mein noodles, all tossed in a savory sauce. The flavorful sauce, made from oyster sauce, soy sauce, sesame oil, and chicken broth, coats each bite, creating a satisfying balance of sweet and salty flavors. The crunch of cabbage and carrots complements the juicy chicken, making this a well-rounded, easy-to-make meal.
Ingredients
1 lb chicken breast, boneless and skinless
3 tbsp oil
12 oz chow mein noodles (uncooked)
2 cups cabbage, chopped
1 large carrot, julienned
½ batch green onions, chopped
2 garlic cloves, minced
Chow Mein Sauce:
6 tbsp oyster sauce
3 tbsp low sodium soy sauce
3 tbsp light sesame oil (not toasted)
½ cup chicken broth
1 tbsp cornstarch
1 tbsp granulated sugar
Instructions
Prepare the Sauce:
In a small mixing bowl, whisk together the oyster sauce, granulated sugar, sesame oil, soy sauce, chicken broth, and cornstarch. Set aside.
Cook the Noodles:
Follow the package instructions to cook the chow mein noodles. Once cooked, drain and rinse with cold water to stop the cooking process. Set aside.
Cook the Chicken:
Heat 3 tablespoons of oil in a large wok or pan over medium heat. Slice the chicken breasts into bite-sized strips and cook them in the hot oil until golden brown and fully cooked through. Remove the chicken strips and set aside.
Sauté the Vegetables:
In the same pan, add the julienned carrots, chopped cabbage, and minced garlic. Sauté for a few minutes until the vegetables are slightly softened and the cabbage is translucent.
Combine and Cook:
Add the cooked chicken and noodles back into the pan with the vegetables. Pour the prepared chow mein sauce over the top and toss everything together. Cook for an additional 2 minutes, allowing the sauce to coat the noodles and chicken evenly.
Serve:
Garnish the chicken chow mein with chopped green onions and serve immediately, hot from the pan.
