Chicken Ingredients:
- 1 lb cubed chicken breast
- Salt to taste

Vegetable Ingredients:
- 6 oz chow mein noodles prepared as per package instructions
- ¾ cup sliced onion
- ½ cup julienned carrots
- 1 cup broccoli florets

Instructions
- Start by seasoning the cubed chicken in a medium mixing bowl with salt and pepper. Add ¼ cup of teriyaki sauce and mix thoroughly to coat the chicken. Cover and refrigerate for 30 minutes to 1 hour.
For the Noodles:
- Heat 2 tablespoons of cooking oil in a wok or deep skillet over medium-high heat. Add the noodles and cook for 1-2 minutes until they become crispy, then flip and cook for another 1-2 minutes. Remove the noodles and place them on a plate.
For the Chicken and Vegetables:
- In the same wok, add 1 tablespoon of oil and the marinated chicken. Stir-fry for 6-8 minutes until the chicken is browned and cooked through. Remove and set aside.
- Add another tablespoon of oil to the wok, then toss in the sliced onions and carrots. Stir-fry for 2-3 minutes until the onions are translucent. Add the broccoli and cabbage, continuing to stir until the vegetables are tender, about 3 minutes.
Final Assembly:
- Return the cooked chicken and crispy noodles to the wok. Stir in the remaining ¼ cup of teriyaki sauce and toss everything together for 2-3 minutes until heated through and well combined. Garnish with sesame seeds before serving.
