Kali and Kai LOVE chicken chow mein.

I found a recipe in a Light and Tasty cookbook and made it a little more kid friendly.

Chicken Chow Mein

1 box of spaghetti noodles, cooked

2 chicken breasts, cut in bite size pieces

1 large handful of sugar snap peas or snow peas

1 large handful of baby carrots, sliced diagonally in bite size pieces

1/4 sweet onion, chopped

2 T veg oil, divided

Sauce

1/4 cup soy sauce

2 T brown sugar

1/2 teaspoon of sesame seed oil

1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes

1/2 T vinegar

Heat 1 T oil in wok or skillet on Med heat. Cook chicken, remove from pan and drain on paper towel. Add 1 T oil to pan and cook carrots & onions until easily pierced with fork and add peas. I do not like peas mushy so I only cook a few more minutes. Put chicken back in pan and mix sauce ingredients. Add sauce to pan and heat through. Turn heat off and add (drained) noodles to pan and toss & serve!
