Cooking Steps
• 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. Zest and quarter lime.
• 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 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 ½ tsp; 1 tsp for 4); stir to combine.
Rinse shrimp under cold water, then pat dry with paper towels. Swap in shrimp for chicken.
• To pan with chicken and broccoli, add drained noodles, lime zest, and juice from half the lime; toss to coat. Taste and season with salt. • Divide chicken lo mein between shallow bowls. Serve with remaining lime wedges on the side.
Shrimp are fully cooked when internal temperature reaches 145°.

Reviews from our home cooks
Taste was great! Good combo of ingredients. Didn't think lime wedges were necessary but expect it was to help tone down the spice level.
I loved the flavor of this dish. However, I substituted shrimp to replace the chicken in the recipe, and there were no additional directions for cooking the shrimp-no times, with broccoli or after broccoli, etc. I think this is an oversight that some of us need!
I really liked the idea of this dish and the broccoli was excellent. I think if I make it again would treat the noodles differently because they ended up being sticky being cooked in the suggested order.
Delicious and easy to make, especially with the shrimp substitution! Please continue to offer this one!
Needed more noodles and veggies. It was a lot of shrimp.
I really liked the flavor and it was a good combo of things
Flavors were so amazing and quality of the products was amazing!
I need practice cooking lo mein. They came out cooked too much & not cooked enough.
Seemed like not enough noodles, but they were filling, so it worked.
Pretty good! Would like it to be a little juicier and more spice
