WHY USE THE CROCK POT TO COOK CHICKEN LO MEIN?
Well, why not. 🙂 The slow cooker makes dinner time so easy.
You can make this recips on the stove top but it is so nice coming home to dinner already being cooked! This really helps us stick to the menu plan and not get tempted to eat out.
Plus, the chicken is so tender and flavorful from being slow cooked all day!
WHAT’S THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN LO MEIN AND CHOW MEIN?
Both of these dishes use the same type of noodles and often it is the same recipe. The difference is in how the noodles are cooked.
Chow mein noodles are normally cooked to be crispy and lo mein noodles are served soft from being boiled.
WHAT OTHER PROTEINS CAN YOU ADD TO LO MEIN?
You can use anything your family likes. We also really love beef lo mein as a nice change from the chicken.
Shrimp is another tasty idea in lo mein. If you are looking for slow cooker lo mein weight watchers ideas, try bulking up the recipe with more veggies!
You can also add sambal oelek for added flavor. It is a type of chili sauce. Oyster sauce is also good as well.

Lo mein noodles are a type of Chinese wheat flour noodles.

In fact, I think it is just as good if not better the next day! The flavors really blend together and it is so delicious.

If I want to make this with beef what kind of beef should I use
I would probably use flank steak. That would taste great in this recipe. Thank you!
This sounds delish! Can you use boneless skinless chicken breasts? Maybe shredding the chicken breasts when cooked through?
Yes, I would use 2-3 breasts depending on the size and I wouldn’t change the cooking time. Thank you!
Can I freeze any leftovers
Surprised there is no sesame oil. I would add some sesame oil to this for an authentic taste. Perhaps some red pepper flakes too,
I agree that those both would be great additions to this recipe. Thanks for sharing!
