Chicken Lo Mein
Chicken Lo Mein
After a long week, sometimes I like my Saturday nights to consist of a home cooked meal and a movie. Last night, I was feeling a little more on the creative side and was craving an Asian inspired dish. I usually order chicken lo mein when I get take out, so I thought it would be fun to make my own for dinner last night. I tend to get pretty picky with my vegetables, so I used ones that most appeal to my taste. Feel free to dress this dish up with a plethora of your favorite veggies. You can also add beef or shrimp to this dish if you like to have a variety of proteins.
I really enjoyed cooking my own lo mein and found the finished dish extremely delicious! Sautéing the chicken in coconut oil helped enhance the flavors and was wonderful when mixed in with the remaining ingredients. It was optional to add additional coconut oil to the vegetables when cooking; however I chose to in order to keep them moist. I found the cornstarch necessary to add as a good thickening agent in this dish. The total prep and cooking time on this was about 40 minutes. I would recommend prepping all your vegetables at once and setting them aside. This helped me stay less flustered in the kitchen and made the cooking process smoother. Here’s what you’ll need:
Ingredients
8 ounces thin spaghetti (I used whole wheat)
3 cups of water
3 chicken bouillon cubes
3 boneless skinless chicken breasts
2 tablespoons Kelapo Coconut Oil
2 tablespoons sesame oil
1 tablespoon cornstarch
1 onion, chopped
2 cloves of garlic, chopped
¼ cup scallions, chopped
1 red pepper, chopped
Salt, to taste
Pepper, to taste
Directions
What’s your favorite meal to cook with coconut oil?
