I made this as per recipe but with one little oops moment in that when we do stir fries more often than not we add chilli and or garlic and I had some there which was supposed to be for the side dish but I put it into the chicken (just cut up some more for the side) and served with rice and broccolini. My two chicken breasts came to 500 grams and I have about a third of the chicken left over for the freezer. Dh has already requested to have again. Thank you dienia b for a delicious and quick dinner, made for Alphabet Tag Game at FF&F.
