We were just talking about trying to make lo mein the other night! (We finally broke down and got a rice cooker, too.) Thanks for sharing this recipe, Lynn.
I love any chinese type food recipes. I will have to try this one. It looks yummy!
God bless,

This looks great! I love that it is made with ingredients that I already have on hand. We made your spinach artichoke dip a few days ago and loved it! Thanks so much for the recipes.
I’d love to have the beef lo mein recipe as well. This chicken dish looks terrific!
Tried this tonight – very good! Thanks for sharing. Even my highly fussy boy at least ate the chicken if not the noodles.

I made this for my family tonight and I LOVED it!! My husband and stepdaughter liked it a lot, too! My picky eaters ate the chicken, bacon & noodles.
@Lori A., Oh yea! I added water chestnuts because I like them. 🙂
I know its just a typo, but it says add soy sauce and beef.
Thanks for catching that and for letting me know. I just fixed it.
