Chicken Chow Mein



A quick, easy and tasty Chinese dish!

1 cup chicken broth
2 tsp soy sauce
salt to taste
1/2 lb. cubed chicken (I used 3 large cans of canned chicken)
2 T. corn starch
4 stalks celery sliced
1 can bamboo shoots, sliced
1 can water chestnuts, sliced
1 can mushrooms, sliced
vegetable oil

Put cold broth in bowl, add soy sauce and season with salt until salty. Stir in cornstarch. In frying pan over high heat, add 2 T. oil. When hot, add chicken and stir for 1 minute (oil WILL splatter, so put chicken in carefully). Remove chicken. Heat 2 T. oil and stir fry celery for 1 minute. Add bamboo shoots, water chestnuts and mushrooms. Stir broth mix and add to vegetables. Cook and stir until hot and sauce is thickened. Add chicken and stir until hot and the sauce turns clear. Serve immediately over rice and top with chow mein noodles!
