Instructions
Follow these easy steps to make Chow Mein Noodles with Chicken:
1. Prepare the Noodles: Cook chow mein noodles according to the package instructions. Drain and set aside.
2. Marinate the Chicken: In a bowl, combine sliced chicken with soy sauce, oyster sauce (if using), and a pinch of salt. Let it marinate for about 10-15 minutes.
3. Heat the Oil: In a large skillet or wok, heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil over medium-high heat.
4. Cook the Chicken: Add the marinated chicken to the pan and stir-fry for about 5-7 minutes until fully cooked. Remove the chicken from the pan and set aside.
5. Sauté Vegetables: In the same skillet, add the remaining 1 tablespoon of oil. Add garlic and stir until fragrant (around 30 seconds). Then add your stir-fry vegetables. Cook for 3-4 minutes or until they’re tender but still crisp.
6. Make the Sauce: In a small bowl, whisk together cornstarch and chicken broth until smooth. Pour this mixture into the vegetable pan and cook until the sauce thickens (about 2 minutes).
7. Combine Ingredients: Return the cooked chicken to the skillet. Add the chow mein noodles and toss everything together to combine, ensuring the noodles are coated with the sauce.
8. Final Seasoning: Add chopped green onions and give it one last stir. Taste and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper as necessary.
9. Serve Immediately: Remove from heat and serve the Chow Mein Noodles with Chicken hot, garnished with extra green onions.
