Chicken Chop Suey/Chow Mein

I got this recipe from my same sister-in-law that shared the Mandaran Orange Salad recipe with me. She actually made this recipe up for a class assignment in high school where she had to do a demo in class. I love this recipe, it just hits the spot and has a nice flavor. I hope you enjoy it as much as we do!
