"This is surprisingly pretty good for just a couple of ingredients, it's a easy basic recipe that is geared toward newbie cooks (like me!) it's good served over cooked rice. You could jazzy it up with a bell pepper and sliced carrots. I don't like chicken breast it's to dry so I used thighs but you could use chicken breast if you want to"
