This Gluten Free Chicken Lo Mein is like your favorite takeout from your local Chinese restaurant! Tender chicken, stir fry veggies and egg noodles all tossed in a simple yet delicious sauce for an easy to make yet absolutely delicious meal. My family makes this recipe regularly because we just can’t get enough of it and we love that all of the ingredients are gluten free and dairy free.

I love a good gluten free recipe, but what I love even more is one that is easy to make! This Gluten Free Chicken Lo Mein takes your favorite takeout dish to the next level. How is that even possible you might ask? Well, for starters you don’t have to leave your house and can make it in less than 30 minutes! I’m a homebody through and through so this is a win for me.

But even more than that, this meal is packed with deliciously fresh vegetables, AMAZING gluten free egg noodles and a sauce that gives just the right amount of flavor while letting you taste the rest of the ingredients (read: you won’t be chugging water from all the sodium after eating this meal). As an added bonus, you can feel good about the ingredients in this dish. Don’t get me wrong, I love takeout (and will always be the first to order it as long as it is celiac safe) but I also love getting the taste of takeout while knowing that the ingredients will leave me feeling good.

Steps to Make Gluten Free Chicken Lo Mein

Step One: Bake the Chicken

This recipe can be made even easier if you prep the chicken ahead of time or use rotisserie chicken. However, if you have celiac disease please make sure the rotisserie chicken is safe as this is a common item that can contain gluten or have cross contact with other gluten products. Whether or not you are making the chicken ahead of time or at the same time with the rest of the recipe, preheat the oven to 350 degrees. To reduce the cooking time, butterfly the chicken and place on a baking sheet. Cook until the internal temperature reaches 165 degrees, which is about 20-25 minutes. If making the chicken ahead of time, let cool, cut into small pieces and then place in the refrigerator until you are ready to make the rest of the recipe.

Step Two: Egg Noodles + Veggies

Next, you will want to boil the water for the egg noodles. Fill a large pot and follow the directions on the back of the pasta box. While the noodles are cooking, cut the broccoli, cabbage and peppers. Drain the noodles and set aside.

Step Three: Bring it all together

If your chicken is in the oven, remove and cut into small pieces. Add the ghee to a large skillet and turn on high heat. Add the carrots, peppers and broccoli and cook for about five minutes or until the vegetables are tender. Mix together the sesame oil, ginger, coconut aminos, arrowroot powder, honey, chicken broth, apple cider vinegar, salt, pepper, chili powder and water. Add the sauce and the cut chicken to the skillet. Continue to cook on medium-high heat for 3 minutes or until the sauce starts to thicken. Add the cabbage and continue to cook for 5 minutes. Lastly, add the noodles to the skillet and stir to combine with the rest of the ingredients. Once the noodles are coated with the sauce, remove from heat and serve.
