This quick and easy Chicken and Broccoli Lo Mein is not only amazingly delicious, it’s on the table in under 30 minutes!

Throwing another quick and easy dinner recipe at you today… skip the Chinese takeout because this is so much better and more budget-friendly, too!

Have I mentioned what a LONG winter it has been? Not only has it been a long winter, but ~~somewhat~~ a lot depressing. If you’ve followed the blog for a while you probably know I lost my very best friend to a long battle with breast cancer at the end of January. Sorry to be a downer, but it’s true. Grief is a horrific thing that I’ve never quite experienced like this.

So that’s why it has been my goal to create more quick and easy recipes so that I can start spending more time outside when it gets warmer. Sunshine, fresh air and gardening are what I need in the evenings!

And I’m sure you don’t mind quick and easy recipes as well so you can enjoy more time outside with your family this summer.

Enjoy!

We made this for supper and it was delicious. We used spaghetti instead of lo mien noodles and Texas Pete hot sauce instead of Sriracha sauce. We were unable to find lo mien noodles in our local grocery and there are no Asian markets nearby. The Texas Pete sauce was just enough heat for us. Our only disappointment was the sauce did not flavor the chicken very well. The next time we fix it we will marinate the chicken before we cook it. This recipe is a keeper!
