Chicken chow mein
This recipe for chicken chow mein is tasty, easy and inexpensive. Living up to its Chinese roots with a healthy alternative. The flavour is a nice mix between sour soy sauce and sweet peanut butter, although neither are too overpowering. An under $10 special meal you'll love.
Ingredients
- 250 g spaghetti
- ¼ cup Asian Sesame Dressing
- 600 g boneless skinless chicken breasts cut into strips
- 2 cloves garlic minced
- 1 red capsicum chopped
- 1 onion sliced
- ½ cup chicken stock
- 1 tbsp peanut butter
- ¼ cup soy sauce
- 2 tbsp. chopped coriander
- 2 tbsp. chopped peanuts
Instructions
- Cook your spaghetti in large saucepan as directed on package.
- Heat dressing in large nonstick skillet on medium-high heat. Add chicken and garlic; stir-fry 3 min. or until chicken is no longer pink. Add peppers, onions, broth and peanut butter; stir-fry an additional 3 to 4 min. or until chicken is cooked through.
- Drain spaghetti; return to pan. Add chicken mixture and soy sauce; mix well.
- Spoon onto serving platter; sprinkle with coriander and peanuts.
Notes
For a spicy variation, add 1/4 tsp. crushed red chilli to the hot dressing along with the chicken and garlic.
If pork is on special, rather than chicken: substitute with 600g pork tenderloin, cut into strips, for the chicken and beef broth for the chicken broth.
And to make the Chow Mein easier to serve and eat, break the spaghetti in half before cooking.
