Chicken Chow Mein

Loop & Dash
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!
