Instructions
- Cook Noodles: Cook the lo mein noodles according to the package instructions until al dente. Drain well and set aside to prevent sticking.

- Combine Ingredients: Pour the prepared sauce over the chicken and vegetables in the skillet. Stir to coat evenly.
- Toss with Noodles: Add the cooked lo mein noodles to the skillet and toss everything together until the noodles, chicken, and vegetables are well combined and heated through.
- Serve: Serve the Easy Chicken Lo Mein hot immediately and enjoy a delicious homemade Asian-inspired meal.
Notes
- Use fresh vegetables for best texture and flavor.
- For extra spice, increase the red pepper flakes.
- Substitute chicken with tofu or shrimp for variation.
- Do not overcook noodles; they should remain slightly firm.
- Soy sauce alternatives can be used to make it gluten-free.
