“My hudband and i really enjoyed this. My kids were to picky to even try it. I did add some zicchini and next time ill add musHrooms but it was still very yummy as written.” — a cook, 5.0★
“I found this recipe to be very salty. I would skip marinating the chicken to try and cut down on the soy sauce and use less in the sauce. Can always add if needed.” — a cook, 3.0★
