I modified a recipe someone else had posted here:
Bean Sprout Chicken Chow Mein
Serves 3
1 Tbsp olive or sesame oil
24 ounces of chicken breast or thighs, cut to bite size pieces
1 cup chopped onion
1 cup celery chopped into large bite size pieces
3 garlic cloves, crushed
½ cup fat free chicken broth (or homemade)
3 Tbsp low sodium soy sauce or Bragg’s aminos
½ tsp ground ginger
3 cups Bean Sprouts
Dash red pepper flakes (optional)
Chopped green onion for garnish
Slightly heat olive oil pan and add chicken; cook for about 5-7 minutes, stirring to cook evenly.
Add onion and cook for 2-3 minutes, until softened. Add celery and garlic and cook until tender crisp, 3-5 minutes.
Add chicken broth, soy sauce/aminos, ginger, and red pepper flakes (if you want), bring to a simmer. Turn heat down and let simmer about 5 minutes, until the liquid has reduced by about half.
Turn heat up to a boil, and add bean sprouts. Cook for about 1-2 minutes or until the sprouts are warmed and have softened.
Serve hot, garnish with chopped green onion.
Thanks! That sounds delicious- definitely making it!!! Originally Posted by scorbett1103

I'm only eating 4oz of meat if I'm pairing it with the IP rotini. When I approached her with that question she needed to double check before she gave me the go ahead. Thanks for your input though!
