I made this for dinner the other night. I only had a little green pepper frozen to use. I think it would be better with more pepper and to use the yellow or red like the recipe calls for.
Stir-Fried Chicken and Vegetable Lo Mein
Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cups low-sodium chicken broth
- 1/4 cup low-sodium soy sauce
- 3 tablespoons rice vinegar
- 1 tablespoon sesame oil or toasted sesame oil
- 1 1/2 tablespoon brown sugar
- 1 1/2 tablespoon cornstarch
- 1 1/2 pounds boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into bite-size pieces
- 10 ounces spaghetti, broken in half (I used whole wheat)
- 2 teaspoon canola, vegetable or coconut oil
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- 1-2 cups broccoli florets, cut into bite-size pieces
- 1 red or yellow bell pepper, diced
- 5 cloves garlic, finely minced or pressed
- 1 teaspoon sesame seeds, toasted or not
Sauce and Marinade:
Stir Fry:
Directions
- For the marinade, whisk together the broth, soy sauce, vinegar, sesame oil, brown sugar, and cornstarch. Place the chicken in a resealable ziploc bag and pour 1/2 cup of the marinade over the chicken. Seal the bag and refrigerate for at least 15 minutes or up to 4 hours or so, reserving the rest of the sauce.
- Cook the noodles in a pot of boiling, salted water. Drain and rinse lightly with cool water. Set aside.
- In a large 12-inch nonstick skillet, heat the oil over medium-high heat. Add the chicken in a single layer with space in between each piece so that the chicken browns nicely (you may need to cook the chicken in two batches), seasoning with a light touch of salt and pepper as it cooks. Cook until the chicken is browned on all sides and cooked through, about 3-4 minutes, depending on the size of the chicken pieces. Transfer the chicken to a plate.
- To the hot skillet, add the broccoli, bell peppers and garlic. Stir fry, stirring often, for 2-3 minutes.
- Add the reserved sauce, noodles, and chicken. Cook, tossing every so often so the ingredients are evenly coated in the sauce, for 3-5 minutes, until the sauce thickens and the noodles are heated through.
- Serve and garnish with sesame seeds.
