Chicken Lo Mein

There is a little bit of prep work involved in this recipe depending on what vegetables you choose to use and the tools available to you. I started with cutting up 4 large carrots, julienne style:

I am reserving approximately half for my meatloaf the next day. I cut the julienne strips into have lengthwise, as to make them easier to eat. I sliced one large onion and added it to the carrots. You can substitute shredded carrots from the store, but I didn't have them. Cutting your own carrots saves money.
I had approx 2-3 cups of left over sweet and sour cabbage that I am also going to add. Where I live, cabbage is .39 cents a pound at the moment so it's an inexpensive way to add veggies to your meal. I parboiled (boiled them for a couple of minutes and then shocked with cold water) the carrots and onions to make them softer for the stir fry.
                                      
Next I browned cut up chicken leg and thigh quarter meat (you can use white breast meat if that's what you have on hand; I would only use a couple since this is going to make a lot of food with the veggies and noodles).
Here is a picture of the meat while cooking: (yes it looks gross, probably because of the soy sauce)

The meat was marinated in a cup of soy sauce and before browning I added 2 tablespoons of corn starch.

Next, I sauteed the vegetables together, this should only take a few minutes on medium high heat:

I added the meat to the vegetable mixture and seasoned as follows:
2-3 tablespoons of oyster sauce (depending on your own taste)
2-3 tablespoons of sesame oil
1 table spoon fresh garlic, You can add a little powder garlic if fresh is too much for you
You can add salt if you wish, I didn't because the meat was marinated in soy sauce.

Here is everything together with sauce's:

Next, I boiled the fettuccine. You can use spaghetti or packets of ramen noodles. I happen to enjoy the larger noodles. I used 6 oz of a 12 oz package of fettuccine, I also broke them in half. Boil per package instructions usually 9-10 minutes depending on how soft you like your noodles. You may want to under cook by a minute or so because they will be added to another warm pan which will continue cooking.
                                         
Once strained, I added to the meat and veg mixture, tossed completely and served. You can add another dash of sesame oil to your own bowl if you would like, my husband loves it and adds it to even ramen noodles.

It doesn't look that pretty but it was delicious. The over exposure of the camera doesn't help either.
A break down of money spent on this meal follows:

Approx $1.00 for the dark meat chicken (bought a 10lb bag of leg and thigh quarters for 5.90)
Carrots $.80 cents
Cabbage $.30 cents
Onions  $.50 cents
Noodles $.50 cents
Seasoning and sauce approx $1

Total: $4.10 for a meal that serves 4 people. Husband and I will be eating leftovers in a couple of days.
