One-Pot Chicken Lo Mein

I had not realized that I was in Chicken Lo Mein withdrawal. Actually I think I'm in Chinese food withdrawal. January will have several Asian inspired dishes on the menu!

One Pot Wonders are all the rage, and for good reason! What’s easier than throwing everything into a pot (no need to cook the pasta!) and having dinner ready in 20 minutes with little to no work? This recipe for chicken lo mein will have you skipping on take-out and opting for a family-friendly, home-cooked meal instead.

Ingredients

1. 1/2 pound boneless chicken breast, cut into small strips (I like to use chicken tenders)
2. 1 (16oz.) box whole wheat linguini (GF noodles of choice)
3. 8 ounces matchstick carrots
4. 1 medium red bell pepper, julienned (I'm not a huge pepper fan but I might try it this time around.)
5. 8 ounces Highline® mushrooms, sliced
6. 4 green onions, sliced into 1-inch strips
7. 4 cloves garlic, minced
8. 1/4 cup reduced-sodium soy sauce (GF Tamari)
9. 1 teaspoon corn starch
10. 2 tablespoons sugar (raw sugar)
11. 1 quart low sodium chicken broth (GF YF)
12. 2 tablespoons olive oil

Directions

1. Add chicken and pasta, then carrots, bell pepper, mushrooms, onions, garlic, soy sauce, cornstarch, sugar, broth and oil to large stockpot. Cover, bring to a rolling boil over high heat and stir. Cook, covered, 15 minutes, stirring occasionally, or until most of the liquid is gone and the chicken is cooked through.
