This chicken spaghetti lo mein combines the best of Italian and Chinese cuisines for a quick weeknight dinner that feels like takeout but tastes even better. The tender chicken and crisp vegetables tossed with perfectly cooked spaghetti create a colorful, flavorful meal that comes together in just 30 minutes.

I created this recipe during a busy exam week in college when I craved something comforting but didn't want to order delivery. Years later, it remains my go-to meal when entertaining friends who are impressed by how restaurant-quality it tastes with minimal effort.

Ingredients

Step-by-Step Instructions

Oyster sauce is my secret ingredient in this recipe. Despite its name it doesn’t taste fishy at all but adds an incredible depth that makes this dish taste like it came from your favorite restaurant. My family can always tell when I try to skip it which I learned after attempting a shortcut version during a particularly hectic evening.
