Ingredients
Scale
- 8 oz spaghetti (or any pasta of your choice)
- 1 lb chicken breast, thinly sliced
- 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
- 1/2 onion, thinly sliced
- 1 bell pepper, sliced
- 1 cup snap peas, trimmed
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1/4 cup low-sodium soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons oyster sauce
- 1 tablespoon hoisin sauce
- 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
- 1 tablespoon brown sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon sesame oil
- 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional for heat)
- 1/4 cup green onions, chopped (for garnish)
- Sesame seeds (optional for garnish)
Instructions
- Cook the spaghetti according to the package directions, drain, and set aside.
- In a large skillet or wok, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat. Add the sliced chicken breast and cook for 5-6 minutes, or until fully cooked and browned. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
- In the same skillet, add the onion, bell pepper, and snap peas. Cook for 3-4 minutes until the vegetables are tender but still crisp. Add the garlic and cook for another 1 minute until fragrant.
- In a small bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, oyster sauce, hoisin sauce, rice vinegar, brown sugar, sesame oil, and red pepper flakes (if using).
- Add the cooked spaghetti to the skillet with the vegetables. Pour the sauce over the pasta and toss to coat evenly. Return the cooked chicken to the skillet and toss everything together to combine.
- Continue to cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the pasta is heated through and the sauce has thickened slightly.
- Serve the Chicken Spaghetti Lo Mein hot, garnished with chopped green onions and sesame seeds, if desired.
