Chicken Lo Mein

I am loving this recipe! A sweet neighbor brought me a recipe for Chicken Lo Mein a month or two after our Chinese Princess joined our family. The poor girl didn't know how to eat, so we tried everything. She had thought "Maybe Chinese food..." I have changed a few things, and amped it up with more flavor and veggies. And it's delicious!


Chicken Lo Mein
1/2 lb whole wheat spaghetti noodles
1 lb boneless, skinless Chicken breast cut into small strips
1 cup Asian Toasted Sesame Dressing (Kraft)
4 cloves garlic, minced
1 onion, chopped
2 carrots, peeled and diced
2 celery stalks, diced
1 red pepper, diced
1 cup frozen corn
1 cup peas
2 cups chicken broth
3/4 cup peanut butter
1/2 cup soy sauce
dry roasted peanuts

1. Cook Spaghetti
2. Fry chicken until it begins to brown, add in dressing and veggies
3. Add broth, peanut butter and soy sauce; simmer until sauce is desired consistency and veggies are desired tenderness
4. Drain noodles, return to pan. Add chicken/veggie mixture and combine.
5. Serve with dry roasted peanuts sprinkled over top

Variations: Add any veggie! Broccoli is good too. Sprinkle with cilantro or green onion.

It's a pretty dish with all those veggies. And the kids love it! The peanut butter is odd, but it makes it so good!
