1
Season the chicken breasts with salt, black pepper, and olive oil. Cook them whole in a frying pan over medium heat until fully cooked, then set aside to cool. Cooking the whole breast first allows better control over slicing thickness.
2
Prepare all ingredients: slice the mushrooms, chop the onion and bell pepper, mince or crush the garlic. Get out the vegetable mix package containing various vegetables.
3
Make the sauce: combine the sweet chili sauce, mushroom flavored soy sauce, oyster sauce, and grated ginger in a bowl, mixing until uniform. Reserve the sesame oil to add at the end.
4
In a large wok or pan with high sides, sauté the onions, bell peppers, and mushrooms over medium heat. Push the vegetables up the sides of the wok to maximize cooking surface and allow them to release their moisture and soften.
5
After about 4 minutes, add the minced garlic to release its smoky flavor, being careful not to let it burn.
6
Add the vegetable mix and continue cooking until all vegetables are tender.
7
Pour the sauce and 1 tablespoon of water into the center of the wok, allowing it to heat. Add the cooled, sliced chicken and toss to coat with the sauce.
8
Add the pre-cooked noodles to the wok and gently toss everything together, allowing the noodles to absorb the sauce flavors.
9
Drizzle the sesame oil over the top, toss everything together, and allow the residual heat to bring out the sesame aroma.
