Main Ingredients
  • 1 lb boneless skinless chicken breast, cut into bite-sized pieces
  • 12 oz chow mein noodles, uncooked
  • 2 cups shredded cabbage
  • 1 large carrot, julienned
  • 1/2 batch green onions, chopped for garnish
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
Sauce Ingredients
  • 6 tbsp oyster sauce
  • 3 tbsp low sodium soy sauce
  • 3 tbsp light sesame oil, not toasted
  • 1/2 cup chicken broth
  • 1 tbsp cornstarch
  • 1 tbsp granulated sugar
Cooking Ingredients
  • 3 tbsp oil (vegetable or olive oil)

Method
 

Preparation
  1. In a small mixing bowl, whisk together the oyster sauce, soy sauce, sesame oil, chicken broth, cornstarch, and granulated sugar. Stir until smooth and set aside.
  2. Cook the chow mein noodles according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and rinse with cold water. Set aside.
Cooking
  1. Heat 3 tablespoons of oil in a large skillet or wok over high heat. Add the chicken pieces and minced garlic, cooking for 5–7 minutes until the chicken is golden brown and cooked through. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
  2. In the same skillet, add the julienned carrots and shredded cabbage. Stir-fry for 3–4 minutes until the vegetables are tender but still slightly crunchy.
  3. Add the cooked chicken and noodles to the skillet with the vegetables, then pour the prepared sauce over everything. Toss to coat evenly and cook for 2 more minutes.
  4. Garnish with chopped green onions and serve immediately while hot.
