Chicken Chow Mein – a quick and easy takeout dish you can make at home. Packed with chicken, veggies, noodles and chow mein sauce.

This dish is one of my go-to dinners for busy weeknights, just like my Honey Lemon Chicken or the Teriyaki Chicken Stir Fry.

CHICKEN CHOW MEIN

Asian stir fry dinners are on our weekly menu and I am happy to add another new recipe to my collection. This Chicken Chow Mein is as easy and quick to make as my other Asian takeout dinner recipes. All you need is chicken, veggies, noodles and basic ingredients for the sauce. Grab a wok or a large skillet and a pot to cook the noodles and you can have dinner ready in under 30 minutes! For a vegetarian chow mein, use 6 to 8 ounces of mushrooms in place of the chicken.

One of the most popular side dishes for potlucks or BBQ dinners is hands down coleslaw. This easy, homemade Creamy Coleslaw is my go-to recipe. It’s easy and delicious! You can make it on the morning of the day you will serve it or a day before. It’s creamy, slightly sweet and tangy, just all around perfect.

Nothing beats a colorful salad that’s bursting with flavor and texture. Purple cabbage, green cabbage, carrots and green onions make the base of this slaw creating a bright dish. I add edamame beans for a pop of green. For dressing, simply mix sesame oil, soy sauce, vinegar, brown sugar and garlic and toss with vegetables.

This Asian Slaw is perfect enjoyed on it’s own, turned into a lunch salad by adding crunchy Ramen noodles, cooked chicken, like the Sticky Asian Chicken, or as a side dish in place of broccoli in our Teriyaki Chicken recipe. Serve it with the Baked Teriyaki Salmon for a truly colorful dish.
