#If chicken chow mein or chicken lo mein is made with chicken, vegetables, and noodles, if the noodles are mixed in with the other ingredients then the Bracha is [[Mezonot]]. However, if the noodles aren’t completely combined then the Bracha is [[Mezonot]] on the noodles and either HaAdama or [[Shehakol]] on the rest depending on the majority (see previous halacha).<ref>Laws of [[Brachos]] (pg 362) writes if there are noodles in chicken chow mein the Bracha is [[Mezonot]] on the noodles, and [[Shehakol]] on the chow mein if it’s mostly chicken or HaAdama on the chow mein if it’s mostly vegetables. However, on pg 385 note 14 he qualifies that this is only the case when the noodles aren’t totally mixed in, however, if they are mixed in then [[mezonot]] on the noodles exempts the other ingredients. Also, the [http://www.ou.org/publications/brachot/default.htm OU] writes simply that chow mein is [[mezonot]]. (Maybe they are assuming the noodles are mixed completely.) </ref> | #If chicken chow mein or chicken lo mein is made with chicken, vegetables, and noodles, if the noodles are mixed in with the other ingredients then the Bracha is [[Mezonot]].

#If the chicken pieces are large and eaten by themselves without rice in the same bite, the chicken and rice each deserve their own bracha.<ref>Yalkut Yosef 212:5.

#If chicken and rice is mixed together and the pieces of chicken are small enough that on each bite of chicken there is rice, the bracha is made on the majority; if the rice is majority the bracha is mezonot, while if the chicken is the majority the bracha is shehakol.<ref>Yabia Omer OC 7:32, Halacha Brurah 212:6, Yalkut Yosef 212:5. Vezot Habracha (11:3:5 p. 91) quotes Rav Elyashiv that if there are two foods mixed together and one wants both, the bracha depends on the majority even if the minority ingredient is more important and expensive. However, the Shaarei Habracha (ch. 15 fnt. 22) disputes this opinion of Rav Elyashiv and holds that the more significant food determines the bracha, even if it is in the minority. His opinion is based on Taz 202:2 and Or Letzion 2:14:29.</ref> | #If chicken and rice is mixed together and the pieces of chicken are small enough that on each bite of chicken there is rice, the bracha is made on the majority; if the rice is majority the bracha is mezonot, while if the chicken is the majority the bracha is shehakol.<ref>Yabia Omer OC 7:32, Halacha Brurah 212:6, Yalkut Yosef 212:5.
