  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 cup sliced carrots
  • 1 red bell pepper, sliced
  • 1 cup snap peas

  4. Add sliced chicken and cook for 5–6 minutes until browned and cooked through. Remove and set aside.
  5. In the same pan, sauté carrots, bell pepper, snap peas, and garlic for 3–4 minutes until tender-crisp.
  6. Return chicken to the pan and add cooked noodles.
  7. Pour sauce over everything and toss well to coat.

Notes

  • Spaghetti can be used as a substitute for lo mein noodles.
  • Toss noodles lightly with oil after draining to prevent sticking.
  • Add mushrooms or shredded cabbage for extra vegetables.
  • Stir in red pepper flakes or sriracha for heat.
  • Use gluten-free noodles and tamari for a gluten-free version.
