Lynda's Chicken Chow Mein

Lynda's Chicken Chow Mein
(yields 5-6 servings)

14 ounces of farkay chow mein noodles ( I use only 12 ounces of the package)
1 pound of chicken tenders
1 medium onion - chopped or chopped fine if preferred
1/2 cup chopped fine celery
1 cup chopped or sliced cabbage (optional, but I like it)
1/2 of large pepper (your choice of pepper)
salt and pepper to taste
6 eggs
Directions:
1. In a large pot boil the farkay noodles for about 3-5 minutes;
(should be a rolling boil); drain and set aside.
2. Cut the chicken tenders into small pieces; then fry in
skillet until no longer pink.
3. Add onions, celery, cabbage, peppers to skillet; and
add 1 tablespoon of butter for flavor; saute' for
about 5-8 minutes, or until done.
4. Then add the chow mein noodles to the skillet;
add 1/8 cup water, cover the skillet then let
steam for 5 minutes and mix gently; then add
1/8 cup water again and let steam for another
5 minutes, mixing gently.
5. Let the chow mein cook for another 10 minutes;
remove cover, mix gently, the chow mein should
be done. (You can taste the noodles and check
for doneness) I usually have it on med-low heat.


6. In a frying pan/skillet; cook your omelette. In
a medium bowl: add eggs, salt & pepper to taste,
add milk or cream (I use less than 1/4 cup), may
add cinnamon for flavor. Combine well and cook
in skillet until done. (can add shredded cheese
if preferred); Cook slowly about 5-10 minutes
until puffed and set. Lift edges of omelette with
spatula while cooking. Omelette should be gold-
en when done. Spread the omelette strips on the
chow mein. (slice the omelette into strips, or can
be served on a plate).
Enjoy! .......It's one of my favourite recipes!!
Chow!!!
(Note: use a non-stick skillet)
