chicken chow mein is one of my favorite take-outs, and this recipe is excellent w/the exception of the soy sauce- you don't need it! also, I found that it is better if you double the liquid ingredients, which gives more sauce to put over the fried rice (that has the soy sauce already)...so good I don't order take out anymore!!!

    This was very easy, and pretty good but a little bland for our liking.

    Loved it. Gave it 5-stars because it is way, way healthier tasting than the canned chicken chow mein. Very easy.

    This is a SUPER dish. Came together easily enough after work with ingredients I usually keep on hand. This is going into the monthly rotation. LOVED IT!
