Stir-Fried Chicken and Vegetable Lo Mein

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
    Sauce and Marinade:
  • 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
  • Stir Fry:
  • 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
Directions
  1. 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.
  2. Cook the noodles in a pot of boiling, salted water. Drain and rinse lightly with cool water. Set aside.
  3. 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.
  4. To the hot skillet, add the broccoli, bell peppers and garlic. Stir fry, stirring often, for 2-3 minutes.
  5. 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.
  6. Serve and garnish with sesame seeds.
