Ingredients:

– 1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breast, thinly sliced
– 2 tablespoons soy sauce
– 2 tablespoons oyster sauce
– 1 tablespoon sesame oil
– 1 teaspoon grated ginger
– 2 cloves garlic, minced
– 1 onion, thinly sliced
– 2 carrots, julienned
– 2 celery stalks, thinly sliced
– 8 oz mushrooms, sliced
– 6 cups chicken broth
– 8 oz chow mein noodles
– Salt and pepper, to taste
– Green onions, chopped for garnish
– Bean sprouts, for serving
– Sriracha sauce, for extra heat (optional)

Instructions:

1. In a bowl, combine the sliced chicken with soy sauce, oyster sauce, sesame oil, grated ginger, and minced garlic. Allow the chicken to marinate for at least 30 minutes to absorb the flavors.

2. In a large pot over medium heat, add a drizzle of oil. Add the marinated chicken and cook until browned on all sides, about 5-7 minutes.

3. Add the sliced onion, julienned carrots, sliced celery, and mushrooms to the pot. Cook for another 5 minutes until the vegetables begin to soften.

4. Pour in the chicken broth and bring the mixture to a simmer. Let it cook for about 10-15 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.

5. Meanwhile, in a separate pot, cook the chow mein noodles according to package instructions. Drain the noodles and set aside.

6. Once the soup has simmered and the vegetables are tender, season with salt and pepper to taste.

7. To serve, divide the cooked chow mein noodles among serving bowls. Ladle the hot Chicken Chow Mein Soup over the noodles.

8. Garnish with chopped green onions and bean sprouts for a fresh crunch. If you like a bit of spice, add a drizzle of sriracha sauce for an extra kick.
