    Homemade Chicken Lo Mein

    Jump to Recipe Print Recipe

    Quick and easy homemade Chicken Lo Mein! So much better than waiting for Chinese take-out, this can be on your table in twenty minutes! With pieces of chicken, lo mein noodles, and fresh bell peppers, it's a great family weeknight dinner and much cheaper than take-out.

    Chicken Lo Mein- Learn how to make better and quicker than take out!

     

    I had a package of lo mein noodles sitting in my cabinet for awhile, so when my daughter asked for spaghetti this week, I said "How about chicken with noodles instead?" Great news, she ate it! Chicken and spaghetti are two of the very few things she likes, and luckily I have never had a problem getting her to eat vegetables. She also likes Chinese food, as long as it's not in a lot of sauce.

    I love most Chinese food myself, though I admit I don't order Chicken Lo Mein all that often. I'm more of a Chicken and Broccoli kind of girl, with Wonton Soup and Crab Rangoons, of course. Check out this recipe for Chicken and Broccoli I made a few years ago, and this fabulous recipe for Crab Rangoon Dip with Sesame Wonton Crisps. Yes, my photography has really improved! I need to update those photos, like yesterday.

    I made this quick and easy by using a package of frozen Asian vegetable mix, then just adding freshly sliced red bell pepper and minced garlic. The chicken itself only takes a few minutes to cook, and so do the noodles. I really don't think this could be easier, plus it saves a ton of money not ordering. Take-out is expensive!
