Cook the 8 ounces Chinese egg noodles according to package directions, then drain and set aside.
In a small bowl, combine all the sauce ingredients. (2 tablespoons low-sodium soy sauce, 2 tablespoons sweet chili sauce, 1 teaspoon sesame oil, and 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger).
Preheat a large frying pan over medium heat and drizzle with the 1 tablespoon olive oil and add 2 cloves garlic (minced) Stir for a minute.
Add the 2 chicken breasts (diced) and season with salt and pepper to taste. Cook, stirring frequently, until golden brown and almost cooked through.
Stir in the 2 bell peppers and continue to cook for 2-3 minutes or until the chicken is fully cooked through. Add the 3 cups baby spinach and cook for 1-2 minutes or until just wilted.
Remove from the heat and toss with the hot cooked noodles and the sauce. Garnish with 2 teaspoons sesame seeds.

Switch out the protein: I used chicken breasts because I prefer lean protein, however, boneless skinless chicken thighs, thinly sliced flank steak, shrimp, or diced turkey breasts are all perfect for this recipe too!
Try different vegetables: There is a whole variety of vegetables you can add to Chicken Lo Mein. Check out my list below for more ideas!
Add a little more heat: I sometimes like to dice up one chili pepper and toss it in there as well for a little extra spice!
