This delicious Chicken Lo Mein is perfect on its own, but you can take it to the next level by serving it with a side of steamed vegetables or a fresh salad for added nutrition and texture. Pair it with a glass of your favorite Asian-inspired beverage such as green tea or lychee iced tea for a complete dining experience.

Storing Leftovers
If you happen to have any leftover Chicken Lo Mein, store it in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days. Reheat individual servings in the microwave or on the stovetop until heated through, adding a splash of water or chicken broth if needed to prevent the noodles from drying out.
