Ingredients

Scale

For the Stir-fry

- 1 Tablespoon canola oil
- 1 pound chicken breasts, cut into thin strips
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 Tablespoons ginger, grated
- 1 (8 oz) mushrooms, thinly sliced (baby bellas or shiitake)
- 1 small onion, finely chopped
- 1 ½ cup Napa cabbage, finely shredded
- 1 cup matchstick carrots
- 12 oz pasta, cooked according to package directions

For the Sauce

¼ cup low sodium chicken broth
1 teaspoon cornstarch
1 Tablespoon sesame oil
¼ cup low sodium soy sauce
1 teaspoon light brown sugar

Instructions

Heat the canola oil in a large pan or wok over medium-high heat.
Add the chicken strips and cook until browned and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes. Remove the chicken from the pan and set aside.
In the same pan, add the garlic and ginger. Sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
Add the mushrooms, onion, Napa cabbage, and carrots. Stir-fry for about 3-4 minutes until the vegetables are tender but still crisp.
In a small bowl, whisk together the chicken broth, cornstarch, sesame oil, soy sauce, and brown sugar.
Return the cooked chicken to the pan and add the cooked pasta.
Pour the sauce over the chicken and vegetables, stirring to coat evenly. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until the sauce has thickened and everything is well combined.
Serve immediately and enjoy your homemade Chicken Lo Mein!
