The key ingredient in this dish is, of course, chicken, which is combined with a variety of vegetables and noodles to create a flavorful and filling meal.
To make Chicken Chow Mein, you will need the following ingredients:
- 1 pound of boneless, skinless chicken breasts, sliced into thin strips
- 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil
- 1 onion, sliced
- 2 cloves of garlic, minced
- 1 red bell pepper, sliced
- 1 cup of sliced mushrooms
- 1 cup of sliced carrots
- 1 cup of sliced celery
- 1 cup of bean sprouts
- 1/4 cup of soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons of oyster sauce
- 1 tablespoon of cornstarch
- 1/4 cup of water
- 8 ounces of chow mein noodles
To start, cook the chow mein noodles according to the package instructions and set them aside. In a large skillet or wok, heat the vegetable oil over high heat. Add the chicken and cook until browned on all sides, about 5 minutes. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set it aside.
In the same skillet, add the onion and garlic and cook for 2-3 minutes until softened. Add the red bell pepper, mushrooms, carrots, and celery and cook for another 5-7 minutes until the vegetables are tender. Add the bean sprouts and cooked chicken to the skillet and stir to combine.
In a small bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, oyster sauce, cornstarch, and water. Pour the sauce over the chicken and vegetables and stir to coat everything evenly. Cook for another 2-3 minutes until the sauce has thickened.
To serve, divide the chow mein noodles among four plates and top with the chicken and vegetable mixture. Garnish with sliced green onions or sesame seeds, if desired.
This Chicken Chow Mein dish is a perfect combination of savory and sweet flavors. The chicken is tender and juicy, while the vegetables add a nice crunch and texture. The chow mein noodles are soft and chewy, making this dish a satisfying and filling meal.
