Chicken Chow Mein

This is a great way to get a bunch of vegetables in one meal.  You can use the ones listed or modify it to your tastes.  We found the chow mein noodles in the Asian food aisle at the local Albertson's.  Makes 3-4 servings.


Ingredients:
2 carrots, chopped
2 ribs of celery, chopped
1/2 onion, chopped
1 red pepper, chopped
2 cloves garlic, minced
2 leaves fresh cabbage, chopped
1 cup sprouts
1 can water chestnuts, drained
1 small can pineapple chunks, drained
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
1 package chow mein noodles
1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breasts
1 bottle Teriyaki sauce
Garlic powder and black pepper (optional)

1. Fill a large pot with water and heat until boiling.  Cook noodles according to directions on the package, then strain and set aside.
2. Throw all veggies (and pineapple) into a large frying pan with the vegetable oil, cook until just tender.
3. Chop chicken breasts into bite-sized pieces.  Add to frying pan and cook till done.
4. Add Teriyaki sauce, garlic powder and black pepper to taste.  Remove the pan from heat, add noodles and stir.

If you like your food spicier, you can add a bit of Sriracha (chili garlic sauce, also called "Rooster Sauce").
