Chicken Lo'Mein.. family HIT!!!

Here is another recipe for you! And I know I tell you that a lot of them are quick and easy.. and this one is also quick and easy ;) I think it probably took me no more than 30 minutes to make! The hardest part was cutting up the veggies.. which didn't take long either!

Last night while I was cooking, Neil was out working in the garage so I had to find a way to entertain Chloe. She tends to get clingy when I start cooking. She wants me to play play doh with her, push cars around the house, etc.. and I just can't do that and cut up veggies and fry food at the same time sadly. I am not super women haha.. Wish I had that power but I don't :( Anyways.. I turned on nursery rhymes on youtube while I was cooking and she LOVED it. She watched them and sang along with it! It was really nice to have her occupied with that while I cooked. Not ideal to have her watching videos, I know.. but sometimes you just have to do what you have to do in order to maintain your sanity and put food on the table!!

When I started making this I was a little concerned that it wasn't going to be a hit for either my husband OR Chloe. It has a little different taste than your regular soy sauce. BUT Neil actually said he liked the flavor better. He said he thought it had more flavor! And he ate a bunch.. so that a good sign!! Chloe also ate a lot of it.. and she loved the coconut aminos sauce! The entire pan was GONE. So that says something being there are only 2 of us and a toddler!

 Here is what you will need:

- Chicken, cut into chunks
- 1/4 cup chopped almonds
- 1/2 cup water chestnuts
- 1/4 cup green onion, chopped
- 1/2 cup celery, chopped
- 1 Tbsp. minced Ginger
- 1 Tbsp. minced Garlic
- 2 cups broccoli
- 2 cups shredded cabbage
- Toasted sesame oil
- Coconut Aminos
- Sesame seeds to garnish




Directions:

1. Add about 2 Tbsp. sesame oil to frying pan and fry chicken until cooked through. About 5 minutes.

2. Add water chestnuts, celery, and broccoli. Cook over medium-high heat for about 2-4 minutes until veggies are softened.

3. Add green onion, almonds, minced ginger, minced garlic, and shredded cabbage. Add a splash of coconut aminos- about 2-4 Tbsp. Cook for 3-4 minutes until cabbage is softened.

4. Add sesame seeds for garnish (I skipped this step)

5. ENJOY!
