Tips
If you are not watching sodium, you could use a 4 oz. can of cooked sliced mushrooms instead of fresh. And, if you wanted to use a package of frozen broccoli flowerets, cooked according to package directions you could. But, the fresh broccoili, always tastes better.
I serve this dish and let people sprinkle their dish w/ additional lite soy sauce if they desire. and, for my family I serve over minute rice w/ chow mein noodles sprinkled on the top.
Sometimes, I will add a drained can of chinese vegetables to this dish if I need to serve more people, and I will use 4 chicken breasts instead of 3.
But, I take this dish w/out rice and w/ out chow mein noodles for lunches at work.
