  • 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 batch green onions chopped for garnish

  • 3 tbsp light sesame oil not toasted
  • 1/2 cup chicken broth
