Looking for more easy weeknight meals? You’ve got to try this gluten-free Chicken Broccoli Lo Mein! Ready in under 20 minutes and full of protein, veggies, and flavor, it’s one of my favorite Gluten-free Chinese Food Recipes!

Gluten-free Chicken Lo Mein

Raise your hand if you miss being able to head to the best Chinese food place in your town and ordering your favorite dishes like Broccoli Beef, Sweet and Sour Chicken, and Chicken Lo Mein?  Yeah, me too. Thankfully, I’ve figured out how to make all of those at home, so I’m sharing the first of those recipes today with this easy gluten-free Chicken Broccoli Lo Mein. This is my American, homemade version, but I sure think it is close to what I used to order at the local Chinese restaurants!

I love meals that are both easy and healthy, and this meal is definitely both! You need only one pot (for boiling noodles) and one pan (for cooking the rest) to make this healthy dish. My hubby and boys always gobble it right up and always have seconds. My youngest isn’t a huge veggie eater, in fact he’s convinced that lettuce makes him gag and always will! However, he does like broccoli and carrots, so this dish is a great one for getting veggies in him.

I use chicken tenders, just because they require so little trimming, but feel free to use chicken breasts, chicken thighs or any chicken meat removed from a whole chicken. Just dice it up into bite-sized bites. Frozen broccoli florets and pre-shredded organic carrots make it so easy to add the healthy veggies to this stir fry.

Our family does not prefer spicy foods generally, but if your family does, feel free to spice this dish up a bit with some red pepper flakes. We think the flavor from the sauce is just perfect- a little tangy, and just the right amount of it.

Notes on ingredients for this Gluten-free Lo Mein:

  • Soy Sauce. Regular soy sauce has gluten (wheat). You have to make sure to use a gluten-free soy sauce in this recipe and all your gluten-free cooking. My preferred soy sauce to use in all of my recipes is San J Gluten Free Tamari Soy Sauce.
  • Feel free to use your preferred brand of gluten-free rice spaghetti noodles. I do prefer rice pasta over corn pasta in this recipe. I recommend Jovial gluten-free brown rice spaghetti or Barilla gluten-free spaghetti. Both worked well in this recipe and didn’t get soggy/mushy. They’re both my go-to spaghetti noodles for any recipe!
  • If you’d prefer to make this meatless, you can add tofu instead. I recommend following this air fryer tofu recipe and then just tossing that in with this broccoli lo mein.

If you’re looking for some other copycat take-out recipes be sure to try my gluten-free sweet and sour chicken. I’m planning to make my friend’s gluten-free crock pot teriyaki chicken recipe soon – doesn’t it look good?!

Sounds delicious - but since my hubby and son are diabetic - the noodles are off limits - so I will sub in cauliflower rice instead. In my DREAM world - all GF would also be low-carb!!!

I have not rated this, because I have not actually MADE it yet!!

Great recipe! My family and I tripled the recipe and kept the noodles and the vegetables and chicken separate but the sauce we divided into them both. I believe it was a win! And taste great plus so beautiful wish I could upload photos of final product! Thanks.
