Chicken Chowmein

Chicken Chowmein is a very popluar Chinese dish loved by most people who love Chinese cuisine.
I have been eating Chicken Chowmein from my childhood and have always loved it the way its served here in India.
I have not been to China so I cannot claim the authenticity of this dish, but one thing I can say is that I got this recipe from one of the Indo-Chinese chefs here, so this is chowmein served in most "Indo-Chinese" food joints /restaurants across India.
Try making it, am sure you will love it too.
