Ingredients
Scale
Main Proteins:
- 1 pound (454 grams) boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into 1-inch pieces
Vegetables:
- 1 onion, chopped
- 2 carrots, chopped
- 1 cup broccoli florets
Seasoning and Sauce Ingredients:
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
- 1/4 cup soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons oyster sauce
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/4 teaspoon ginger powder
- 1 (12 ounce) (340 grams) package chow mein noodles
Instructions
- Marinate chicken pieces with cornstarch, salt, and black pepper, ensuring an even, light coating that will help create a crispy exterior.
- Heat vegetable oil in a spacious wok or skillet over medium-high temperature, carefully placing chicken to achieve a golden-brown crust.
- Cook chicken until thoroughly done, then transfer to a clean plate, keeping the meat warm and preserving its juicy texture.
- In the same cooking vessel, introduce chopped onions, carrots, and broccoli, allowing them to soften and develop a slight caramelization.
- Craft a vibrant sauce by blending soy sauce, oyster sauce, honey, garlic powder, and ginger powder in a separate mixing bowl.
- Pour the aromatic sauce into the skillet, creating a simmering environment that will infuse the vegetables with rich, complex flavors.
- Reintroduce the cooked chicken to the skillet, gently folding in chow mein noodles to absorb the savory liquid.
- Allow the mixture to heat thoroughly, ensuring the noodles reach a tender consistency and all ingredients meld together harmoniously.
- Transfer the colorful, steaming dish to serving plates, presenting a delectable meal that combines protein, vegetables, and noodles in one satisfying creation.
Notes
- Optimize chicken coating by ensuring even distribution of cornstarch for a crispy exterior that seals in moisture and creates a golden-brown finish.
- Use high heat when sautéing chicken to achieve quick caramelization without overcooking, which helps maintain tender meat texture.
- Consider swapping chow mein noodles with rice noodles or cauliflower rice for gluten-free or low-carb variations that still provide satisfying substance.
- Balance sauce ingredients by adjusting honey and soy sauce ratios to control sweetness and saltiness according to personal taste preferences.
