• 8 oz Boneless, skinless chicken breast
• 8 oz Beef sirloin steak
• 1 medium, sliced Red bell pepper
• 1 large, julienned Carrot
• 4 oz Snow peas
• 1 cup, shredded Green cabbage
• 3 stalks, chopped Green onions
• 1 tbsp, minced Ginger
• 2 cloves, minced Garlic
• 2 tbsp Low-sodium soy sauce
• 1 cup Low-sodium chicken broth
• 2 tsp Cornstarch
• 2 tbsp Olive oil
• 1 tsp Sesame oil
• 0.5 tsp Black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Cook the whole wheat chow mein noodles according to the package instructions. Drain and set aside.

Step 2

Thinly slice the chicken breast and beef sirloin steak into strips.

Step 3

In a small bowl, combine the low-sodium soy sauce, low-sodium chicken broth, and cornstarch. Stir well to dissolve the cornstarch and set aside.

Step 4

Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large wok or skillet over medium-high heat.

Step 5

Add the chicken slices to the wok, season with black pepper, and stir-fry for 3-4 minutes or until cooked through. Remove and set aside.

Step 6

Add another tablespoon of olive oil to the wok and stir-fry the beef strips for 3-4 minutes until browned and cooked through. Remove and set aside.

Step 7

In the same wok, add the minced ginger and garlic and stir-fry for 30 seconds until fragrant.

Step 8

Add the sliced red bell pepper, julienned carrot, snow peas, and shredded cabbage. Stir-fry for about 5 minutes until the vegetables are just tender.

Step 9

Return the cooked chicken and beef to the wok.

Step 10

Pour the soy sauce mixture over the meat and vegetables, and stir well to combine. Cook for another 2 minutes, stirring until the sauce thickens and coats the meat and vegetables.

Step 11

Add the cooked chow mein noodles, sesame oil, and green onions to the wok. Toss everything together gently to mix the ingredients evenly and heat through.

Step 12

Serve hot.
