Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breast, cut into bite-sized pieces
  • 8 ounces dried egg noodles or chow mein noodles
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce (for chicken marinade)
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch (for chicken marinade)
  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil, divided
  • 1 small onion, thinly sliced
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 cup shredded cabbage
  • 1 cup sliced carrots
  • 1 cup broccoli florets
  • 1/2 cup sliced mushrooms
  • 3 tablespoons soy sauce (for sauce)
  • 2 tablespoons oyster sauce
  • 1 tablespoon brown sugar
  • 1 teaspoon sesame oil
  • 1/4 cup chicken broth
  • 2 green onions, sliced (for garnish)

Instructions

  1. In a bowl, toss the chicken pieces with 2 tablespoons soy sauce and 1 tablespoon cornstarch. Set aside for 10 minutes.
  2. Cook the noodles according to package directions until tender but still firm. Drain them well and set aside.
  3. Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add the marinated chicken and cook until browned and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set it aside.
  4. Add the remaining 1 tablespoon of oil to the skillet. Add the onion and cook for 1 minute until slightly softened.
  5. Add the garlic, cabbage, carrots, and broccoli to the skillet. Stir fry for 3-4 minutes until the vegetables are crisp-tender.
  6. In a small bowl, whisk together the 3 tablespoons soy sauce, oyster sauce, brown sugar, sesame oil, and chicken broth to create the sauce.
  7. Return the cooked chicken to the skillet. Add the cooked noodles. Pour the sauce over the noodles and vegetables.
  8. Toss everything together constantly for 1-2 minutes until the noodles are coated and the sauce has thickened slightly.
  9. Remove from heat. Garnish with sliced green onions before serving.

Notes

  • For a healthier option, consider this recipe as a better alternative to ordering from meal delivery companies.
  • If you prefer a richer flavor, substitute chicken thighs for the breast.
  • If you are planning meals ahead, this dish works well for meal planning and can be reheated.
