  1. This was fantasic. I am usually not a fan of crock pot food but keep trying because its easy and this is definately a keeper. I didn't use the water chesnuts or the canned bean sprouts because I don't like them. I added drained baby corn instead. I cooked on high for about 4 hours, added the cornstarch/water and cooked another 10 minutes. Turned out perfect.
     
  2. Love this recipe, the flavor is perfect and it is so healthy! Thanks for posting this recipe, it is quite flexible and so easy! I put the chicken in the crockpot without browning, used a fresh bag of bean sprouts, fresh ginger, a yellow onion, no water chestnuts, sucralose for sweetener and no sides for a lower carb meal. This goes in my favorite recipes and meal rotation.
     
  3. So easy! So delicious! I have never made chicken chow mein but it was one of my favorite dishes my mom made. This recipe tasted just like hers! I made it a few weeks ago and will make two crackpots of it tomorrow, which is a lot because my husband, who also loved the recipe, and I are in our upper 60s and don't eat that much. We will be giving this to 2 friends from church whose spouses are going through chemotherapy. I'm a decent cook so I wouldn't take something unless it tasted really good. This recipe fills the bill.
     
  4. This was great chow mein for a beginner like me. In the chaos of preparation with an infant at my feet I forgot the T of sugar but when it was done I didn't even notice. I also used a whole bag of fresh bean sprouts instead of the can. Yum! To add an extra health benefit I served this with brown rice. It was great! We'll make it again when the craving comes along.
     
  5. dh loves chow mein and said this was pretty good. As for me, I liked it also because it's so easy to prepare and gave us lots of left-overs, even though I'm not big on Asian food, I thought it was tasty.<br/>Thanks for posting it
