This recipe was a huge hit at my house! I think it might even taste better than the yummy chow mein at Panda Express. One difference from Panda’s, I’ve added chicken to it. Turn it into a vegetarian dish by leaving the chicken out (see vegetarian skinny facts below). But the biggest difference, my skinny chow mein has much healthier ingredients so you can actually enjoy every bite guilt-free!!! Each serving has 327 calories, 5g fat and 8 Weight Watchers POINTS PLUS. I’m sure you’ll receive two thumbs up from the whole family!
