CHICKEN CHOW MEIN CASSEROLE
This simple casserole version of chicken chow mein makes great use of leftover chicken or turkey and is easy on the budget and your time. I don't measure or weigh the amount of chicken I use but the original recipe calls for 3 pounds so I've left the recipe that way. I just use whatever I have left over, or I'll stew a few chicken breasts or pieces if I'm starting from scratch. If you've got 2-3 cups of chicken you'll be in good shape. For a little extra kick add some red pepper flakes. You can easily cut this recipe in half for a smaller family.

I got this recipe from a co-worker. It's one of her daughter's favorite meals. We liked the combination of chow mein noodles and cashews. It's a good week night dinner or a way to use up leftover chicken. I have also started adding a can of sliced water chestnuts.

My grandma Mill would hire me to serve at her bridge club when I was a teenager. This was a standby for her bridge club luncheons. I recently made it for a tailgating party and wondered why I waited so long to make this casserole. I used to make it often when we were first married.
