Chicken Lo Mein

Two out of three people in my house LOVED this healthy version of Chicken Lo Mein.  Do I even have to say who is was that was opposed to this popular Chinese dish loaded with vegetables?

Ben and I really enjoyed this dish.  It's healthy and delicious and a nice alternative to traditional lo mein which can be overpowered with salty sauces.  My version incorporates more vegetables, a simple grilled chicken breast and burst of soy and sesame to bring it all together.

Chicken Lo Mein
1/2 pound whole grain lo mein noodles
1 1/2 cups chicken broth
2 Tablespoons soy sauce
1 teaspoon cornstarch
1 teaspoon sesame oil
1/2 teaspoon sugar

2 teaspoons canola oil
2 cups broccoli florets
2 carrots, sliced
1/2 bell pepper, thinly sliced

1 teaspoon fresh ginger, grated
1 teaspoon rice vinegar

If loving this Lo Mein is wrong - I don't want to be right.
