Ingredients
- 1 lb boneless skinless chicken breast cut into bite-sized pieces
- 3 tbsp oil vegetable or olive oil
- 12 oz chow mein noodles uncooked
- 2 cups shredded cabbage
- 1 large carrot julienned
- 1/2 bunch green onions chopped for garnish
- 2 cloves garlic minced
- 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
Instructions
- 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.
- Cook the chow mein noodles according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and rinse with cold water. Set aside.
- Heat 3 tablespoons of oil in a large skillet or wok over high heat. Add the chicken pieces and half the minced garlic. Cook for 5-7 minutes, until the chicken reaches 165°F (74°C). Remove from the skillet and set aside.

- Garnish with chopped green onions and serve immediately while hot.
