1. Preheat the oven to 190C/375F/gas mark 5.
2. Put a piece of foil (approx 30x40cm) onto a baking sheet and brush the centre with 1 teaspoon/5 ml of the oil.
3. Place the chicken breasts, side by side, onto the centre of the foil, and sprinkle with 30ml of water. Close the foil around the chicken to make a loose, but tightly closed, parcel.
4. Bake the chicken in the oven for 30-35 minutes until cooked through. Remove the chicken from the oven, allow it to cool slightly, shred and set aside.
5. Thinly slice the onion, garlic and ginger, and top and tail the mange tout.
6. Cook the noodles in a large pan of boiling, salted water according to the pack instructions.
7. In the meantime, heat the remaining oil in a wok or large frying pan, and stir-fry the onion and ginger over high heat for 2-3 minutes until the onion is softened.
8. Add the garlic, bean sprouts, mange tout and five spice powder, and continue stir-frying for a further minute.
9. Drain the noodles well and add to the wok/frying pan, add shredded chicken and soy sauce. Stir-fry for a further 2 minutes until piping hot. Serve immediately.
2NPW: "Never thought I could cook anything that tasted as good as a Chinese take away chow mein - but I have just done it! It never fails to surprise me on how delicious and tasty all the recipes are."
Bloatedtummy: "I agree! I've just had this for my tea and it was fab, generous portion too. Will def be making this one again."
Fiona: "Hi there, I have just made the chicken chow mein. It was quick and easy and very tasty. I used prepared noodles so it was even easier. I was very impressed. I haven't had it from the takeaway so I can't compare, but at least you know these are all the best ingredients when you cook it yourself."
Cazza39a: "Oh yes I made it last week and have put it on list to make again. Is defo better than some of the Chinese chow meins I've had in the past, very tasty."
budgielass: "This was absolutely gorgeous, I added some carrots and some baby corn and it was really tasty. I made it for my friends who aren't even on a diet and they loved it."
orcal: "Hi, this went down so well I've done it twice in the last week. As good as if not better than the takeaway version!"
