Creating Chicken Chow Mein can be simple with these clear steps:
1. Cook the Noodles: Boil water in a large pot, add chow mein noodles, and cook according to the package instructions. Drain and set aside.
2. Prepare Chicken: In a bowl, toss the sliced chicken with a pinch of salt and black pepper.
3. Heat Oil: In a large wok or skillet, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat until hot.
