Instructions

Prep
1

• Bring a medium pot (large pot for 4 servings) of salted water to a boil. Wash and dry produce. • Cut broccoli into bite-size pieces if necessary. Quarter lime. Roughly chop peanuts. TIP: For added flavor, toast peanuts before chopping. Add peanuts to a large dry pan over medium-high heat. Cook, stirring often, until toasted, 2-4 minutes. Season with salt; cook, stirring, 1 minute more.

Cook Noodles
2

• Once water is boiling, add noodles to pot. Cook, stirring occasionally, until al dente, 5-7 minutes, then drain.

Cook Chicken & Broccoli
3

• While noodles cook, open package of chicken* and drain off any excess liquid. • Heat a large drizzle of oil in a large pan over medium-high heat. Add chicken and broccoli; season with garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, until chicken is browned and cooked through and broccoli is tender, 4-6 minutes. TIP: If your broccoli isn’t bright green after 2-3 minutes, cover the pan to help it cook! • Remove pan from heat. Add sweet soy glaze, chili sauce, 1 TBSP butter (2 TBSP for 4 servings), and as many chili flakes as you like (we used 1⁄2 tsp; 1 tsp for 4); stir to combine. If sauce is too sweet, add a splash of water. Taste and season with salt and pepper, if desired.

Finish & Serve
4

• To pan with chicken and broccoli, add drained noodles and juice from one lime wedge (two wedges for 4 servings); toss to coat. Taste and season with salt. • Divide chicken lo mein between shallow bowls and sprinkle chopped peanuts on top. Serve with any remaining lime wedges on the side.

Poultry is fully cooked when internal temperature reaches 165°.
