  1. This was really good. I cut up my chicken beforehand so that it would soak up all the flavors and be easier to eat. I also added some cut up asparagus, and loved it that way. I served it over orzo, instead of rice. It was delicious! I made this for Comfort Cafe!
     
  2. This was a great recipe! We really liked it. I used red, yellow and green bell peppers and threw in some roasted chilies I had in the fridge! I use Tamari so I used that and also rice wine...I followed the recipe and found it to be very good. I am going to try the salmon in the future too, cuz I am always looking for salmon recipes and this should work nicely! We enjoyed our meal! Thank you, Jelly I made this for Comfort Cafe too it was the recipe of the day! :)
     
  3. This made a really nice sauce which I used with salmon instead of chicken. Very flavorful! Thank you!
     
  4. I used sherry, added more veggies just for health! Using 1 1/2 red bell peppers, 1 bunch of scallions, and 3 cloves of garlic. My oil of choice was smart balance using as little as I can get by with. Step #11 is a little off.I suateed the veggies for 2 minutes then added the liquid and reduced to half. Added a slurry of cornstarch and water to thicken the sauce which gave the sauce a nice glossy coating. Added the chicken back to heat and coat. Served over rice. Thanks!

  5. I used salmon filets in place of the chicken. AWESOME. I cooked the salmon for maybe 2 minutes on each side removed from pan , followed the recipe then added the salmon and cooked in the sauce for maybe another 5 minutes. I also used cooking sherry instead of the rice wine. This is a definite keeper and can't wait to try it with chicken. Made for Comfort Cafe Tag game ( recipe of the day)

My little house is overflowing with cookbooks, thank goodness I found Recipezaar! I can collect all the recipes I want! I live in Fort Worth, Texas close to my two grown kids and four grandchildren. We love to visit Costa Rica. This is a picture of my whole family over spring break.I'm the big momma in the back. We went to Costa Rica and had such a great trip. We are now importing Costa Rica coffee. <br />I enjoy baking with my granddaughters. We like to make cookies and cupcakes. Saturday morning is reserved for cooking lessons with the kids. <br /><img src=http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b399/susied214/projects/200_PACpic.jpg border=0 alt=Photo /></p>
