Cooking Steps
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Wash and dry produce.
Halve, core, and thinly slice bell pepper into strips. Trim and cut scallion whites into 1-inch batons; thinly slice scallion greens. Quarter lime.
Once water is boiling, add noodles to pot. Cook, stirring occasionally, until al dente, 5-7 minutes.
Drain and set aside. (You'll finish the noodles in Step 5.)
While noodles cook, heat a large drizzle of oil in a large pan over medium-high heat; add bell pepper and scallion whites. Cook, stirring occasionally, until veggies begin to brown, 3 minutes.
Meanwhile, open package of chicken* and drain off any excess liquid.
Once veggies begin to brown, add chicken to pan; season with garlic powder, a pinch of salt, and pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, until veggies are tender and chicken is browned and cooked through, 5-7 minutes.
To pan with veggies and chicken, add coconut milk, chili sauce, juice from two lime wedges (four wedges for 4 servings), and as much Sriracha as you like (we used half the packet; whole packet for 4). Stir to combine.
Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low and simmer until sauce has thickened, 1-2 minutes more.
Remove pan from heat and add drained noodles. Toss until thoroughly coated. Taste and season with salt and pepper if desired. TIP: If sauce seems too thick, add water a splash at a time until desired consistency is reached.
Divide chicken lo mein between shallow bowls; top with scallion greens and as much remaining Sriracha as you like. Serve with remaining lime wedges on the side.

Reviews from our home cooks
This was perfection, especially compared to the horror show that was the spicy miso rigatoni and bacon. This balanced the flavors very well, but could benefit from some more spice (a Serrano or two would be lovely). It was very similar to a coconut Thai curry, without the curry. A great way to achieve a similar flavor profile - well done!!
Too much coconut milk in this sauce made it more like a Thai Alfredo, even after the sauce reduced to half. The photo made it appear to be more of a caramelized texture. Flavors were decent, but I'll use half the coconut milk next time. Also it says spicy but only comes with 1tbsp of sriracha which if it's going to be made spicy, it could come with more or maybe red chili flakes too.
Very tasty. This was different than we expected - the texture felt more like a fettuccini or pasta dish rather than lo mein, but we still enjoyed the meal and flavors.
Quick easy recipe. I doubled the protein and had to double the sauce, so I'm glad I had the ingredients I needed on hand (chili jam sauce and sriracha)
Wow, so good! One of our new favorites! Love the sweetness from the coconut and the punch of spiciness. We did need to use more lime but not a deal breaker.
Good flavor. Didn't use Sriracha, don't like it. I felt it needed more veggies than just bell pepper. So I added some steamed broccoli to it (wish it was included).
Easy to make with a lot of flavor!! I love the sweetness of the coconut with the spice of the sriracha
I used the whole lime. Lots of zip that was missing from a similar recipe I had recently
This would have been a 4 star dish if not for the chicken chunks. They are poor quality and a bunch of the pieces were completely inedible. I would have liked this recipe a lot more without the chicken and extra veggies or with better quality chicken chunks
This meal was not just fun and easy to make but it was absolutely delicious, it has been one of my favorite meals to cook.
