Ingredients
Scale
Protein and Noodles
- 1 lb cooked chicken, sliced
- 8 oz lo mein noodles
Sauce
- ¼ cup honey
- ¼ cup soy sauce
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tbsp ginger, minced
Vegetables
- 2 cups mixed vegetables (e.g., bell peppers, broccoli, and carrots)
Other
- 2 tbsp vegetable oil
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Green onions (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
- Cook Noodles: Prepare the lo mein noodles according to the package instructions. Once cooked, drain them well and set aside to keep warm.
- Sauté Aromatics: Heat the vegetable oil in a large pan or wok over medium-high heat. Add the minced garlic and ginger, sautéing for about 30 seconds until fragrant but not browned.
- Cook Vegetables and Chicken: Add the mixed vegetables to the pan and cook, stirring frequently, until they are tender-crisp, about 3-4 minutes. Then stir in the sliced cooked chicken along with the honey and soy sauce, mixing everything thoroughly to coat the ingredients with the sauce.
- Combine Noodles and Sauce: Add the prepared lo mein noodles into the pan with the chicken and vegetables. Toss all ingredients together and cook until heated through, ensuring the noodles are evenly coated with the honey garlic sauce. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Serve: Remove from heat and serve warm. Garnish with sliced green onions for an added fresh and colorful touch if desired.
Notes

- Use fresh vegetables or a frozen stir-fry mix according to preference.
- For a spicier kick, add red pepper flakes or sriracha to the sauce.
