This Chicken Chow Mein recipe is quick and easy on a busy night. It is a family favorite that can be customized with pretty much any veggies you have left in the fridge. It is also easy to make in bulk for easy leftovers or Sunday meal prep.

We love Chinese food however feeding a family of 4 can get pretty pricey. I also am a person who is very sensitive to MSG. It gives me migraines so being able to monitor the ingredients in my food is a definite plus.

I have made several varieties of this dish using whatever protein and vegetables I have on hand however this recipe for Chicken Chow Mein is our favorite.
