Chicken Chow Mein

This chow mien recipe (also known as Chinese fried noodle)  is a perfect quick and easy meal for lunch or dinner. The recipe is flexible, and works well with just about any chicken or meat, even those that are leftovers.

Tips: Try not to overcook the noodles. I often go rogue in my cooking but for these noodles it’s not a bad idea to follow the package directions for heating the noodles and to quickly wash with cold water upon completion to give it an immediately cooling off. You may also add 1-2 tablespoons of cooking oil to the cooked noodles if you think you may want to fry them at a later time.
