I love it when I can find a good recipe to make at home instead of getting Chinese takeout. This Chicken Chow Mein recipe just happens to be just that.
No need to order chow mein from my local Chinese take out when I have this simple and savory at home version.
Now, when the recipe calls for chow mein noodles, it’s not the crunchy crispy kind. It’s the pasta type stir fry ones. If you can’t find them at the store, good old ramen ones will do.
