EASY CHICKEN CHOW MEIN SAUTE

Easy Chicken Chow Mein Saute image

This is a great dish to use up leftover chicken, you can also make it using turkey, once you have all the veggies chopped this dish is a really simple dish to throw together --- you may omit the chicken and serve this just as a veggie side dish, top with dry chow mein noodles if desired :)
