I also posted crock pot chicken cacciatore as well.
Chow Mein:
1 tbsp oil
1 1/2 lbs skinless, boneless chicken breasts cut into 1 inch pieces
4 large carrots, thinly sliced
4 green onions sliced (including green portions)
3 stalks celery, sliced
1 cup reduced-sodium chicken broth
1 tbsp sugar
1/3 cup reduced sodium soy sauce
1/4 tsp crushed red pepper flakes
1/4 tsp ground ginger
1 clove garlic, minced
8 oz. bean sprouts
1 8 oz. can water chestnuts
1/4 cup cornstarch
1/2 cup water
Heat oil in skillet over medium high. Add chicken and cook until brown. Put into crock pot. Add remaining ingredients, except cornstarch and water. Stir to combine. Cover, cook on low 6 to 8 hours. Turn to High. In a small bowl, stir cornstarch into cold water until dissolved. Stir into liquid in crock-pot. Place cover slightly ajar. Cook until thick 15 - 30 minutes. Serve with chow mein noodles or rice. May be doubled for 5 quart models. 6 servings. Per serving: 252 cal, 30g protein, 4g fat, 24g carbs, 66 mg cholesterol, 757 mg sodium. Taken from RIVAL crock pot recipe book. It's yummy and tastes like the real thing and is ridiculously low in fat.

You got me. Sorry, but I have no idea. I can only stab a wild guess in the dark at chicken????? Remember it's milligrams - which means it's very little.

Hi - there's a little chart of cholesterol levels for meat, chicken, and seafood towards the bottom of this page web page
The American Heart Association recommends that you limit your average daily cholesterol intake to less than 300 milligrams. Probably even more important here is your daily intake of saturated fat - for a 2,000-calorie diet, this shouldn't exceed 20 grams (9 percent of caloric intake). A person's saturated fat intake (and, interestingly) NOT their cholesterol intake is what's been found to affect their blood cholesterol levels.
A single skinless chicken breast has one gram of saturated fat. Most seafood has no saturated fat. Plant proteins have almost zero saturated fat. In comparison, a 3.5 oz serving size (which is smaller than what most people actually eat) of lean ground beef has 7 grams of sat fat, and pork spare ribs have 12 grams.
So the crockpot recipe of 65 mg. of cholesterol is actually about as low as you'll get using skinless chicken breasts, and would leave you with more than 200 mg. to spare for the rest of your daily intake.

I'm in the process of cooking this dish, but was unsure as to whether or not I was to drain the water chestnuts. I did, but hope I wasn't supposed to use the water in the can?
It smells wonderful!

Is it an electric slow cooker, does it go on the stove or what?
