Prepare the green seasoning by blending celery leaf, spicy thyme, scallion roots, garlic, sweet basil, broad leaf thyme, and flavored pepper with a little water to desired consistency.

Combine all sauces in a bowl, adding brown sugar and mixing well.

Combine all dry ingredients in a separate bowl.

Season the chicken with half of the dry ingredients, all of the green seasoning, and half of the sauces; mix well and let sit for 1 to 1.5 hours.

Boil water and add chow mein noodles along with a teaspoon of adobo; do not cover the pot.

After boiling, drain the chow mein and rinse with cold water to stop the cooking process.

Heat 1/4 cup of oil in a frying pan over medium-high heat, then add the chicken and cover to cook until the water released by the chicken evaporates.

Once the chicken is cooked, remove it from the pan and set aside.

In the same pan, heat 2 tablespoons of oil and crush two cloves of garlic, allowing it to infuse the oil.

Add carrots and green peas first, cooking for 2-3 minutes before adding the remaining vegetables except for scallions.

Stir-fry the vegetables without adding salt or dry ingredients for about 2 minutes, keeping them crunchy.

Add the cooked chow mein, chicken, scallions, remaining sauce, and dry ingredients to the pan; turn off the heat and mix everything well together.

Taste and adjust seasoning with adobo or garlic salt as needed.
