I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again…I am OBSESSED with Chinese food. Seriously, I can never get enough. But following the Weight Watchers plan, eating Chinese food on a regular basis can get me into some serious trouble!
So I regularly attempt to create my own healthier and lighter versions, hence this incredibly delicious Chicken Lo Mein Recipe. It was AH-MAZING. Me, my husband, and both kids loved it. Plus, it was super quick and easy!
When adding the veggies to this dish feel free to get creative…I used what I happened to have on hand in the fridge, but next time, I’ll add some mushrooms, bell peppers, and maybe some bok choy.
Also, if you don’t have access to or can’t find the broccoli slaw, you can use regular broccoli and shredded carrots. I just used the slaw form because my kids are more likely to eat vegetables if they aren’t easily visible. But if you need to get your Chinese food craving satisfied, this Easy Chicken Lo Mein is a WINNER at just 7 Smart Points per serving! Enjoy.
Easy Chicken Lo Mein Recipe
Ingredients
- 8 oz skinless boneless chicken breast - diced
- 8 oz lo mein egg noodles
- 2 tsp olive oil
- 2 cups broccoli slaw - I used Trader Joe’s
- 1 cup snap peas
- 2 cups baby spinach
- ¼ cup reduced-sodium soy sauce
- 2 tsp sesame oil
- 4 cloves garlic - minced
- 1 tbsp honey
- 1 tbsp rice vinegar
- ½ tsp ground ginger
- 1 tbsp Sriracha sauce - more or less to taste
Instructions
- In a large pot of boiling water, cook lo mein egg noodles according to package instructions; drain well.
- Whisk together soy sauce, honey, rice vinegar, sesame oil, ginger, and Sriracha sauce and set aside.
- Heat 1 tsp olive oil in a large, nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Cook chicken pieces until browned on both sides, and no longer pink in the middle, about 4-6 minutes. Remove chicken and set aside.
- Add remaining tsp olive oil, add in broccoli slaw and garlic, and cook, stirring frequently, until tender, about 3-4 minutes. Stir in snow peas and spinach until the spinach has wilted, about 2-3 minutes.
- Stir in the lo mein noodles, chicken, and soy sauce mixture, and toss gently to combine. Serve immediately.
