Chicken Lo Mein

There are many benefits to making your favorite Chinese takeout meal at home — and that includes chicken lo mein! For one, you can add more fresh vegetables to your chicken lo mein, or use soy sauce with less sodium for a lighter version. To make it, all you have to do is stir-fry your chicken and veggies, add cooked egg noodles, and toss it all together with a simple sauce. Top with scallions, box up the leftovers, and you’ll have cheap, yummy eats for days.
