Notes

You probably already have most of the ingredients for this recipe except for the chow mein noodles. I found dried chow mein noodles in the international aisle of my grocery store, they come in 6 ounce packages and cook very quickly.
I use a mandoline to cut my vegetables thin so that they cook quickly.
Cut your vegetable and chicken before you start cooking to save time.
