Growing up, there weren’t many of my mom’s dinners that I loved. That isn’t to say she isn’t a great cook, because she it, but she cooked meat and potatoes “farm food” for the most part. That has just never been my thing. I was considered the picky eater growing up because of this. One meal I do remember being excited about was Chicken Chow Mein.

Growing up, there weren’t many of my mom’s dinners that I loved. That isn’t to say she isn’t a great cook, because she it, but she cooked meat and potatoes “farm food” for the most part. That has just never been my thing. I was considered the picky eater growing up because of this. One meal I do remember being excited about was Chicken Chow Mein.

There wasn’t much cooking going on there, because it was the stuff out of the can. Now looking back, I kind of can’t believe I liked that stuff. That goey mess isn’t exactly my favorite anymore, but there is one thing about any Chow Mein that I will always love, and that is the crispy noodles!

This healthy chicken salad is filled with carrots, Edamame, green onions and sugar snap peas, mixed with a creamy chinese spiced Greek yogurt and topped with crunchy almonds and Chow Mein noodles. It is the perfect grown-up twist on the nostalgic Chow Mein we enjoyed as kids!
