This Quick Chicken Chow Mein is a delicious, satisfying, and easy-to-make dish featuring tender chicken, crunchy vegetables, and flavorful noodles. Perfect for busy weeknights, it's ready in just 20 minutes!

Ingredients

2 tbsp vegetable oil

2 chicken breasts, thinly sliced

2 garlic cloves, minced

1 small onion, sliced

1 cup shredded cabbage

1 carrot, julienned

1 red bell pepper, sliced

2 green onions, chopped

9 oz (250g) cooked egg noodles

3 tbsp soy sauce

1 tbsp oyster sauce

1 tsp sesame oil

1 tsp cornstarch mixed with 1 tbsp water (optional for thickening)

Instructions

  1. Heat vegetable oil in a large wok or skillet over high heat.
  2. Add the thinly sliced chicken and stir-fry for 4–5 minutes until fully cooked.
  3. Add the minced garlic and sliced onion to the wok, stir-frying for an additional 1–2 minutes.
  4. Add the shredded cabbage, julienned carrot, and sliced red bell pepper. Stir-fry for another 2–3 minutes until the vegetables are just tender.
  5. Add the cooked egg noodles and toss them together with the vegetables and chicken.
  6. Stir in the soy sauce, oyster sauce, and sesame oil. If you prefer a thicker sauce, add the cornstarch slurry and toss everything until evenly coated and heated through.

Notes

  • For a vegetarian version, replace the chicken with tofu.
  • For a spicy kick, add chili flakes, Sriracha, or fresh chopped chili peppers.
  • Feel free to swap egg noodles for rice noodles, soba noodles, or spaghetti.
  • If you don’t have chicken, try beef, shrimp, or pork.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
  • You can freeze the dish for up to 2 months, but it's best served fresh.
