Chicken Chow Mein with Spaghetti Noodles

A few nights ago we were really craving Chinese Food and decided to go with Chicken Chow Mein. I've never made Chow Mein before and when I went to the market to search for Chow Mein Noodles, I thought I was solid when I picked up the can of noodles. When I got home I realized those were the crispy Chow Mein Noodles so now I had to come up with an alternative to the noodles. The past few recipes, I have found sauce packets to add to the recipe for added flavor. I happened to find one for the Chow Mein and reading the back of the sauce, it had a full recipe for Chow Mein using Spaghetti Noodles. Boyfriend definitely didn't like the idea but surprisingly, it was delicious! I eliminated some things from the ingredient list and added some things but overall, I would give it a 9/10. I wish I made more chicken and had more sauce or used less spaghetti noodles but it was still super good and something I would make again. 

Ingredients:
1 package Chow Mein Seasoning Mix

3/4 cup water
3 Tbsp soy sauce
3 Tbsp olive oil
3 chicken thighs, cut into cubes
1 carrot, sliced thin
2 Tbsp onion powder

As much broccoli as you would like, cut into individual pieces
8 oz dry spaghetti, cooked on package directions

1 Tbsp Rice Vinegar

Crispy Chow Mein Noodles for topping

Directions:
Combine seasoning mix with 3/4 cup water. Add 3 Tbsp soy sauce and whisk together and set aside. 

Heat 2 Tbsp oil in a large frying pan over medium heat and let sit for a few minutes. In the meantime dice up the chicken thighs and, in a separate pot, start boiling the water for the spaghetti. Put the chicken thighs in the oil and stir fry for 2-5 minutes until brown. Remove from the pan and set aside. Follow the directions for the spaghetti and set aside. 

Heat the rest of the oil in the pan. Add carrot, onion powder, and broccoli and stir fry for 3 minutes. Add seasoning mixture, rice vinegar, and chicken back into the pan. 

Pour over spaghetti noodles, add Chow Mein Crispy Noodles and enjoy with dinner rolls.
