Cooking Steps
Bring a medium pot (large pot for 4 servings) of salted water to a boil. Wash and dry produce.
Trim green beans. 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.)
Once water is boiling, add noodles to pot. Cook, stirring occasionally, until al dente, 5-7 minutes, then drain.
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 green beans; season with garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, until chicken is browned and cooked through and green beans are crisp-tender, 5-7 minutes. (TIP: If your green beans aren’t bright green after 2-3 minutes, cover the pan to help them cook!)
Remove pan from heat. Add sweet soy glaze, chili sauce, 1 TBSP butter (2 TBSP for 4 servings), and chili flakes to taste (we used ½ tsp; 1 tsp for 4 servings); stir to combine. If sauce is too sweet, add a splash of water. Taste and season with salt and pepper.
To pan with chicken and green beans, 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.
