My husband can’t get enough of this! As soon as we finish one helping, he wants another.

Chicken chow mein is a delightful dish that marries the flavors of stir-fried noodles, vegetables, and tender chicken, resulting in a symphony of tastes and textures. Originating from Chinese cuisine, this dish has found its place in American hearts due to its versatility and deliciousness. It’s a perfect meal for those busy weeknights when you want to whip up something quick yet flavorful. Additionally, making chow mein at home allows you to control the ingredients, ensuring a healthier version than typical takeout options.
Chicken chow mein pairs wonderfully with a side of steamed jasmine rice or fried rice for a more indulgent meal. A refreshing cucumber salad or some simple bok choy sautéed in garlic and soy sauce would complement the flavors beautifully. For those who enjoy a little extra heat, a side of spicy Szechuan green beans might be just the thing to round out your meal.
