Chicken Chow Mein
A lighter version of a take-out favorite. Nontraditional? Yes. Full of flavor? Also, yes!
Servings: 6 servings
Ingredients
Sauce:
- ⅓ cup low sodium soy sauce
- ¼ cup chicken stock
- 2 tbsp hoisin sauce
- 1 tbsp sugar
- 4 tsp sesame oil
- 2 tsp cornstarch
Noodles:
- 12 oz chow mein noodles
- 2 lbs boneless skinless chicken breasts, thinly sliced
- 4 tbsp avocado oil
- 4 cups green cabbage, thinly sliced (about 1/2 of a head)
- 2 ½ cups shredded carrots
- 3 cloves garlic, finely minced
- 4 tsp ginger, freshly grated
- 1 ½ cups green onions, chopped
Instructions
- In a small bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, chicken stock, hoisin sauce, sugar, sesame oil, and cornstarch. Set aside.
- Prepare the noodles according to the directions on the package. Drain, rinse with cold water, and set aside.
- Heat 2 tbsp of the avocado oil in a large, deep skillet. Add half of the chicken and cook until no longer pink and cooked through. Remove to a plate and cover with foil. Repeat with 2 tbsp more of the avocado oil and remaining chicken.
- Heat the remaining 1 tbsp of avocado oil in the pan. Add the cabbage, carrots, garlic, and ginger to the pan and sauté for about 4-5 minutes until the vegetables are tender.
- Add the noodles and chicken to the pan and toss to combine. Add the sauce and toss to coat. Serve with green onions on top. Enjoy!
Notes
- For a more savory dish, substitute the Hoisin sauce for oyster sauce.
- Make sure to use a large enough skillet to combine all of the ingredients at the end. It helps bring all of the flavors together.
- If you can’t find CHow Mein noodles, spaghetti will work just fine!
