INGREDIENTS

• 8 oz skinless, boneless chicken breast, diced

• 8 oz lo mein egg noodles

• 2 tsp olive oil

• 2 cups broccoli slaw (I used Trader Joe’s)

• 1 cup snap peas

• 2 cups baby spinach

• 1/4 cup reduced sodium soy sauce

• 2 tsp sesame oil

• 4 cloves garlic, minced

• 1 tbsp honey

• 1 tbsp rice vinegar

• 1/2 tsp ground ginger

• 1 tbsp Sriracha sauce (more or less to taste)

INSTRUCTIONS

1 In a large pot of boiling water, cook lo mein egg noodles according to package instructions; drain well.

2 Whisk together soy sauce, honey, rice vinegar, sesame oil, ginger and Sriracha sauce and set aside.

3 Heat 1 tsp olive oil in a large, nonstick skillet over medium high heat. Cook chicken pieces until browned on both sides, and no longer pink in the middle, about 4-6 minutes. Remove chicken and set aside.

4 Add remaining tsp olive oil, and add in broccoli slaw and garlic, and cook, stirring frequently, until tender, about 3-4 minutes. Stir in snow peas and spinach until the spinach has wilted, about 2-3 minutes.

5 Stir in the lo mein noodles, chicken and soy sauce mixture, and toss gently to combine. Serve immediately.
