There’s not much that makes me happier than grabbing a big ol’ bowl of delicious noodles, a couple of chopsticks and posting up in front of the TV to watch some Netflix… and by Netflix, I mean every season of Gilmore Girls on repeat!
This chicken lo mein recipe will have you in and out of the kitchen in under 30 minutes and watchingGilmore Girls (or insert your favorite binge-watching show here) in no time!
You just can’t beat the combination of soft noodles, tender chicken, crisp vegetables and flavorful sauce all tossed together in a seriously scrumptious bowl!
