Hoisin Chicken Rice Bowls

FeelinYummy's Note:

From Mykitchencafe: "This is very healthy and after all the chopping, it comes together in a snap. Plus, I loved the versatility of serving it with romaine lettuce and rice, or just lettuce...or just rice. You get the picture. You can serve it according to your tastes. It was absolutely delicious with both the hearty green romaine lettuce and the warm, tender rice. The chicken, mushroom, pepper mixture is out of this world with flavor and texture. Hoisin sauce is one of my favorite Asian ingredient flavors and this meal was a slam dunk, in my book."

Yum! I love the flavor of hoisin sauce and this was great. Simple and very flavorful. My grandson devoured this and asked when we were going to have it again. Thanks FeelinYummy for a great meal. Made for PAC Spring 2010.

Wonderful! I made this last night and DBF and I loved it. The only thing I did differently was that I used soy sauce instead of teriyaki b/c I didn't realize I was out of teriyaki until it was too late. It was still great! We served it with our bowls lined with lettuce and we will definitely be making again! (BF wanted to add that the scallion is a must.)
