Ingredients
  

For the sauce
  • 1/3 cup chicken broth Use low-sodium if preferred.
  • 4 tbsp soy sauce Adjust for saltiness preference.
  • 2 tbsp brown sugar Add more for sweetness if desired.
  • 2 tsp sesame oil Adds a nutty flavor.
Main ingredients
  • 8 oz noodles Cook according to package instructions.
  • 1 tbsp oil Use olive, avocado, or sesame oil.
  • 1 lb chicken Sliced into strips.
  • 2 large carrots Sliced into 2-inch pieces.
  • 1 large onion Sliced into 2-inch pieces.
  • 2 cups broccoli florets
  • 4 cloves garlic Minced.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. In a bowl, whisk the brown sugar into the chicken broth until dissolved. Add soy sauce and sesame oil, and set aside.
  2. Slice the carrots, onion, and broccoli into 2-inch pieces. Cut the chicken into similar-sized strips.
Cooking
  1. Preheat a wok or large skillet over medium-high heat and add your choice of oil. Once hot, add the chicken and sauté until golden brown. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
  2. In the same wok, add a bit more oil if needed and sauté the onions in the chicken drippings until golden brown. Remove and set aside.
  3. Add the sliced carrots to the skillet and sauté until they begin to soften, about 3-4 minutes. Then, add in the broccoli and sauté for an additional 3 minutes.
  4. Press the minced garlic into the wok and stir well.
  5. Return the cooked chicken and onions to the skillet along with the sautéed veggies. Pour the prepared sauce over everything and simmer for about 2 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
  6. Finally, add the cooked noodles, gently tossing everything together to combine. Enjoy your delicious Chicken Lo Mein!
