I'm not great with food recipes, when I'm making dinner I kind of just like to make it up as I go along, but tell me to bake something and you'd better give the exact recipe or I will screw it up somehow. These are the ingredients I used in this meal, but be inventive and put your own little twist on it.Keara's Chicken Chow Mein
1 lb ground chicken or Turkey(turkey doesn't get as dry, but doesn't have as good of flavor as chicken.)
1 package of chow mein noodles in raw form(not to be confused with fried chow mein noodles which you would used for Hawaiian haystacks)
1 small red onion slivered/chopped
2 zucchini chopped
1 bell pepper(which ever color you like, I switch it up) chopped
1 1/2 cup Cashews whole
4 celery stalks chopped
4-5 green onions cut into 1 inch pieces
2 large carrots chopped
1/2 small head of cabbage sliced
1 can sliced water chestnuts slivered
2 LARGE garlic cloves minced
aprx 2 Tbs sesame seed oil
aprx 1/8 c Rice Vinegar
1 small packet Stevia/or 1 Tbs sugar
1 Tbs Soy Sauce optional(can be replaced with salt to taste)
Drizzle about half the sesame seed oil in a hot skillet then add your ground chicken, garlic and soy sauce or salt, let cook for about 3 minutes or until almost all white, then add the rest of your ingredients and cover. Stir periodically. Keeping the lid on is important, if you don't cover it may end up too dry, you want those yummy juices to stay in there, if not you may have to add soy sauce which is not as yummy or as good for you. Should be done within 7 minutes or so. We like our veggies a little crunchy, so if you like yours well done, cook it a bit longer.
While things are simmering, cook your noodles, read package for directions. When done rinse and add to mix and DONE. If you are like me and you can't always have yummy carbs, don't mix in the noodles, just use them as a base for the stir fry for those who can have them.
Enjoy!
