Chicken & Pepper Chow Mein

Before you begin...

Get all your ingredients and equipment ready

Skim through these steps, then wash your fruit and veg

Take your chicken out of the fridge, open the packet and let it air

Note: Equipment and pan sizes vary. Make sure you cook food thoroughly (even if it takes you a little longer than 10 min)

Now, let's get started!

Boil a kettle

Heat a large, wide-based pan (preferably non-stick) with a drizzle of vegetable oil over a high heat

Deseed your sweet pointed pepper[s] (scrape the seeds and pith out with a teaspoon), then chop roughly into rounds

Once the pan is hot, add your diced chicken and chopped pepper and cook for 4-5 min or until the chicken is starting to brown

Meanwhile, add your medium egg noodles to a pot and cover with boiled water until fully submerged

Bring to the boil over a high heat and cook for 5-6 min or until cooked with a slight bite

Once done, drain and set aside

Once the chicken has browned, add your sweet pea pods and cook for 4-5 min further

Add your soy sauce, hoisin sauce and toasted sesame oil to the pan and cook for 2 min or until the chicken is cooked through (no pink meat!)

Add the drained noodles and give everything a good mix up – this is your chicken & pepper chow mein
