Easy-Peasy Chicken Lo Mein

If good food is something you are interested in, definitely try out this recipe. I got it from Pinterest, but I added a few more ingredients to make it even more delicious. The added bonus is that it's healthy! Wahoo!

*I have changed the original recipe a bit. My recipe has more protein (chicken) and vegetables.

*sans mushrooms!

Ingredients

• 1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breast
• 12-14 oz whole wheat linguine, broken in half (I use a whole box of Dreamfields linguine)
• 6 medium carrots, peeled and cut in thin strips (approx. 3 inches long)
• 2 medium red bell peppers, cut in thin strips
• 1 bunch green onions, white part sliced and green part cut in 3 inch long strips
• 5 cloves minced garlic 
• 1/3 cup soy sauce (healthier substitute: Bragg's Liquid Amino Acid)
• 1 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon corn starch
• 1 tablespoon sugar
• 1/2 teaspoon red pepper (add 1 teaspoon for more of a kick!)
• 6 cups chicken or vegetable broth (3 cans)
• 1 cup water
• 3 teaspoons extra virgin olive oil

*Add 1 cup mushrooms (halved) if that's something you're into!

Cooking Instructions

• Put chicken then pasta into large ir extra large saucepan/stockpot
• Add all other ingredients
• Cover pan and bring to a boil
• Stir and reduce to a simmer
• Cook covered for 25 minutes, stir occasionally (make sure you stir enough so the noodles don't burn!)
• Cook until chicken is cooked through

*Add a small amount of water when reheating leftovers; otherwise, it might taste a little dry, and nobody wants that!

Enjoy!
