“This is another hit! I used chicken breast meat in the recipe because it was already thawed in my fridge, and is mentioned above as a potential sub for the chicken thighs. However, from my experience, it will be drier as mentioned so I suggest using chicken ” — a cook, 5.0★
“I made this tonight. I used extra noodles and added a can of baby corn, and doubled the sauce ingredients.Yum!!! I wanted to add a picture but didn't know how.” — a cook, 5.0★
