1 cup water
Chow Mein noodles

Chicken Chow Mein Casserole

This turned out so great! A simple KID FRIENDLY supper for your family (especially when preparing the onions ahead of time as shown in my previous video)! At the end below I have optional additions to the recipe.

REMEMBER I made a DOUBLE batch in this video!

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (that is about 177C)

You will need enough butter to sauté you celery and onion. Cut in about 1 tablespoon of canola oil to prevent butter from burning (or oil of your choice). Olive oil NOT recommended for this dish)

2 cups chicken (I used chicken breast)
2 stalks of celery sliced or diced to your liking
1 medium onion minced (if using fresh onion I would recommend removing celery from the skillet first when adding onion as to not over cook the celery, then as onions soften add celery in for last couple of minutes. No need to remove the celery if you are using caramelized onions)
1/2-1 cup chicken broth (enough to make chicken mixture moist. You want it a bit more on the (wet side as shown in video, oven is drying remember
3/4-1 tablespoon soy sauce of your choice
1 can cream of mushroom soup (I do have a homemade recipe to make your own, better than canned soup recipe).
1/2-3/4 cup coarsely chopped cashews (enough to sprinkle over entire casserole
Chow mein noodles. Enough to sprinkle over the entire casserole.

Turn out into a lightly greased (I just just cooking spray) casserole dish.

Bake in oven for 27-30 minutes. Serve with rice.

Optional to serve with:

Sweet and Sour sauce
Hot pepper sauce

*Note: I have made a few times since this video where I made it for the first time. I really like to add optional ingredients such as:

bean sprouts
baby corn
chopped water chestnuts

Just remember not to over flow your casserole dish.

ENJOY!
