This extra creamy, delicious chow mein casserole is the perfect thing to make when you’re in a hurry and craving Chinese food! We serve ours with a little tossed green salad and egg rolls on the side!

Note: To make this meal even more convenient you can purchase a premade deli rotisserie chicken and use the meat from that for the casserole. Just discard the bones and skin. Easy peasy!
