Ingredients
Scale
- 1 tbsp sesame oil
- 1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into 1-inch pieces
- 1 red bell pepper, thinly sliced
- 1 cup broccoli florets
- 1 cup shredded carrots
- 8 oz whole wheat spaghetti or lo mein noodles
- 1/4 cup low sodium soy sauce
- 1 tbsp honey
- 1 tbsp rice vinegar
- 1 tsp grated fresh ginger
- 1 clove garlic, minced
- 1/4 tsp red pepper flakes (optional)
- 2 green onions, sliced, for garnish
Instructions
- Heat sesame oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add chicken and cook until browned and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes. Remove chicken from skillet and set aside.
- Add bell pepper, broccoli, and carrots to the skillet. Cook, stirring occasionally, until vegetables are tender-crisp, about 3-5 minutes.
- Meanwhile, cook spaghetti or lo mein noodles according to package directions. Drain and set aside.
- In a small bowl, whisk together soy sauce, honey, rice vinegar, ginger, garlic, and red pepper flakes (if using).
- Return chicken to the skillet with the vegetables. Add the cooked noodles and pour the sauce over everything. Toss to combine and heat through, about 1-2 minutes.
- Divide the lo mein into meal prep containers. Garnish with sliced green onions before serving or just before reheating.
Notes
- Store in airtight containers in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
- Reheat in the microwave until warmed through.
- Feel free to add other vegetables like snap peas, mushrooms, or bok choy.
- Adjust the amount of red pepper flakes to your spice preference.
