- While your chicken is cooking, prepare you sauce by adding all ingredients to a small bowl, whisking until everything is combined well.
- Remove your chicken from the pan, and another tbsp of olive oil and once hot add your vegetables. Saute for 2-3 minutes, just until they begin to soften.

She’s only gone and nailed it again. The best chow mein I’ve ever cooked. As a Brit it, reminds me of when I visit my family in Vegas and we have Panda Express on the way home from the airport. Feeling nostalgic 😌
This was delicious! Definitely becoming a regular meal. I didn’t have any chow mein noodles so used a thin egg noodle instead and still worked. Also added some chopped broccolini and bit of lime juice/honey to the sauce.
Made this recipe tonight, it was a big hit with my 13 yo son . Very flavorful and quick and easy . Thanks girl for all your delicious recipes.
This was really good. My store didn’t have chow mein noodles so I used lo mein. Didn’t have chili oil so I used chopped Calabrian in oil.
I will make this again and hope to find the chow noodles.
Thank you!!!
