Chicken Chow Mein

I had some water chestnuts, chicken broth, and cooked chicken to use up, so I decided to make my chicken chow mein. It had been a while since I had made it and didn't know if I would still like it. I did, I will be keeping this recipe. I served it over some white rice. I left out the bean sprouts, and added some carrots instead.
