This was delicious. I followed the recipe to the tee and it was good. Me and my bf thought it was better than Chinese carryout.

    I didn't like this very much - as written , I found it quite bland. I even added onion and gerlic to gove it some added flavor, plus additional soy sauce and sesame oil and wasn't satisfied. It was just o.k.

    Oh my gosh, If I could give this recipe more than 5 stars I would.. I made this for the family and our son's girlfriend was here and she ate the chicken lo mein too and they both kept saying how good this is..Everyone had second's but I am bummed none for tomorrow, lol Kelly, You tell DH, If there is one recipe on zaar that truly deserves attention it is this one. I would have him send this in to quick cooking. What I did was cut up the chicken before I cooked it and it worked out great, I added cut up waterchestnuts and put in some pea pods. The flavor was outstanding and I will tell you, This chicken dish will Most definately become a regular in this household. If people want a fast, tasty chinese dish, please give this recipe a try.. I am sooo happy I tried this for our family if you would have seen the smiles on my son's face, it was worth it.. Thank you kelly and Dh for a wonderful, wonderful recipe. It deserves to be tried again and again. faith58

    This is such a fun recipe..soo easy and tasty, I threw in some garlic and ginger, omitted the chicken, used the whole bag of coleslaw and added some snap peas and water chestnuts; despite all my tampering with the recipe, the results were great.!Oh yes , I also threw in some Thai chili sauce. Ha Ha.
