A quick and flavorful homemade Chicken Chow Mein featuring tender chicken, crisp vegetables, and golden noodles tossed in a savory-sweet soy-based sauce for a perfect takeout-style meal.

Ingredients

1 lb chicken breasts, thinly sliced

2 cups crispy chow mein noodles

1 cup shredded cabbage

1 cup carrots, julienned

1/2 cup chopped green onions

2 tablespoons vegetable oil

2 cloves garlic, minced

1 tablespoon minced ginger

1/4 cup soy sauce

2 tablespoons oyster sauce

1 tablespoon hoisin sauce

1 teaspoon sesame oil

1 tablespoon sugar

1/2 cup chicken broth

1 teaspoon cornstarch

Instructions

  1. In a small bowl, whisk together soy sauce, oyster sauce, hoisin sauce, sesame oil, sugar, chicken broth, and cornstarch. Set aside.
  2. Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a large wok or skillet over medium-high heat. Add sliced chicken and stir-fry 4–5 minutes until lightly golden and cooked through. Remove and set aside.
  3. Add remaining tablespoon of oil to the pan. Stir in garlic and ginger, cooking for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
  4. Add shredded cabbage and julienned carrots. Stir-fry 2–3 minutes until slightly tender but still crisp.
  5. Return chicken to the pan and toss to combine.
  6. Pour in the prepared sauce, stirring until it thickens and coats the chicken and vegetables evenly.
  7. Add crispy chow mein noodles and green onions. Toss everything together until well combined and heated through.
  8. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed. Serve hot.

Notes

For added crunch, include bell peppers, snap peas, or bean sprouts.

To make it vegetarian, substitute chicken with tofu and use vegetable broth.

Add chili paste or red pepper flakes for a spicy version.

Cook noodles slightly underdone to prevent sogginess when stir-fried.

Leftovers keep up to 3 days; reheat in a skillet with a splash of water or broth.
