Last night, we had One Dish Chicken Lo Mein. This is a recipe I haven't used in a long time, but I'm going through my favorites binder and revisiting old favorites. Even my Chinese-food-resistant husband likes this!

ONE-DISH CHICKEN LO MEIN

1 tbsp. dark sesame oil
1 lb. boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into thin strips
2 (14 oz. each) cans low-sodium chicken broth
1 cup water
1 tbsp. minced ginger root
1/2 tsp. crushed red pepper flakes
3 tbsp. teriyaki sauce
1 large clove garlic, minced
8 oz. spaghetti, uncooked
16 oz. pkg. frozen broccoli, carrot, red pepper and water chesnut combination
2 green onions, sliced

In a skillet, heat sesame oil over medium-high heat; brown chicken, about 3 minutes. Remove to plate.

In same pan, bring broth, water, ginger, pepper flakes, teriyaki sauce and garlic to boiling; add spaghetti. Simmer, covered, 8 minutes, stirring often.

Stir in vegetables and chicken. Bring to boiling; simmer, covered, 4 minutes. Stir in onions.

Yield: 4 servings

Note: I often substitute the vegetables for our favorites (even fresh). Last night I used 12 oz. fresh bean sprouts, 1 thinly sliced carrot, a handful of snow peas, half a red bell pepper cut into squares, and about 6 halved mushrooms.

The pepper flakes give it a nice heat, but you can adjust that to your taste.
