    This was DELICIOUS! Easy to modify...I doubled everything and used boneless/skinless chicken thighs. No 5-Spice or Pinapple, Broccoli instead of and 2 dashes of Cinnamon. Used Lower Sodium Soy Sauce...it's all I had and it made 4
    1-1/2 cup servings at 279 Calories per serving:) YUMMY!!

    I loved it and thought it was delicious. Unfortunately no one else in my home would eat it. That's two out of three people wanted something else to eat; even a can of soup was better to them. Picky eaters. - 2/3/15
