Chicken Chowmein

 

·         It’s fast and easy to prepare and a safe bet for any meal. Who doesn’t love noodles?

=================

·         1.5 lbs chicken breast, cubed and seasoned with 1 tbsp cassareep, onion powder, garlic powder, paprika, and salt & pepper 

·         1/2 large onion, finely diced 

·         1-2 hot peppers, minced

·         2 cloves of garlic, pressed

·         1 carrot, peeled and sliced

·         1/2 large head bok choy, chopped and sliced (fresh or frozen spinach can be substituted)

·         1 bell pepper, sliced

·         1 tbsp chowmein seasoning

·         14 oz chow mein noodles

·         Mushroom soy sauce (dark soy sauce)

·         Sesame oil 

=================

 

·         Heat 2 tbsp olive oil over medium high heat in a large pot. 

·         Sauté chicken until cooked through. Remove and set aside. 

·         Reduce heat to medium and add 2 tbsp olive oil, onion, and hot pepper and sauté for 5 minutes. 

 

·         Add garlic and cook for 30 seconds. 

·         Add carrots, bell peppers, bok choy, chowmein seasoning, and salt & pepper and cook 4-7 minutes, depending on your preferred doneness for the veggies. Turn heat off. 

 

·         Boil chowmein noodles per package directions. I use Lam’s brand and I only cook it for 8 minutes. It’s very important not to over cook your chowmein noodles. 

 

·         Drain and add immediately to veggies along with a drizzle of soy sauce and sesame oil. Stir to combine and remove pot from heat. 

 

·         Remove chowmein and place in another dish so that the noodles don’t over cook in the hot pot.
