As much as I love takeout, I prefer to make Chicken Lo Mein at home because I love being able to add exactly what I want plus it has better flavor and less oil.

This chicken lo mein recipe is surprisingly easy to make at home, and it actually tastes a lot better than what you can get at most takeout restaurants.
