Chicken Chow Mein

This week I suddenly got the craving for chow mein, I searched the message board and found this recipe.

It was rather simple to throw together but I will add some more spices next time as it seemed a little bland to us.

Chicken Chow Mein (From: Christine’s Cuisine)

• 1 tbsp canola oil
• 2 yellow onions sliced
• 4 stalks of celery sliced diagonally 
• 2 cups reduced sodium chicken broth
• 2 cooked chicken breasts, diced in cubes
• 2 tbsp cornstarch dissolved in 2 tbsp water
• 1 package of fresh bean sprouts or 1 can of bean sprouts (drained)
• soy sauce
• chow mein noodles
• cooked white or brown rice according to package directions

Saute onions and celery in oil over medium heat in a 10-inch skillet until softened (approximately 5 minutes).

Add the chicken broth and bring to a simmer. (5 – 10 mintues)

Add cooked chicken and cornstarch.  Heat until thickened – another 5 minutes.  

Add bean sprouts and a few dashes of soy sauce.  Cook until sprouts are softened.  

Serve over rice and top with chow mein noodles and extra soy sauce.
