chicken lo mein noodles - BGS

Prep: 10 minutes | Cook: 15 minutes | Yield: 4 servings

Ingredients

  • 6 ounces uncooked linguine noodles
  • Chicken breast halves, cubed
  • 1/2 cup soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon brown sugar
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • 1/4 cup chicken broth
  • 1 (16-ounce) bag frozen stir-fry vegetables

Instructions

  1. Cook noodles according to package directions. Drain and set aside.
  2. While noodles cook, cook cubed chicken in a frying pan until browned and cooked through.
  3. Add soy sauce, brown sugar, minced garlic, and chicken broth. Stir to combine.
  4. Stir in frozen stir-fry vegetables. Cover and cook on medium heat until vegetables are tender.
  5. Toss drained noodles into the chicken and vegetable mixture. Stir well and heat through.
  6. Serve immediately.

Kid-Friendly Tips

  • Kids can help measure soy sauce, sugar, and broth (and whisk the sauce in a cup before adding).
  • Teach “mise en place”: have everything measured before turning on the stove.
  • For less salt, use low-sodium soy sauce.

Notes

Any long noodle works (spaghetti, lo mein, or linguine). Leftovers reheat well—add a splash of broth or water to loosen the noodles.
