Requested corrections to recipe have not been made: missing direction on preparation of onion and garlic before sauteing (NJstixx said onions should be finely chopped and garlic minced). I am still concerned whether 5 minutes of simmering could be adequate to cook chicken through when stirfry recipes call for 5 minutes of sauteing at high heat and then 4 minutes simmering in a sauce. I sauteed chicken strips for 4 minutes and set aside before I sauteed coarsely chopped onion with 4 minced garlic cloves. Even with changes, the chicken lacks any distinction; my brother described the dish as "severe" and reached for hot sauce. I would recommend using Recipe #10162 separately, and preparing Recipe #296755 to add some excitement to the chicken and add color contrast by including red and green bell peppers. Leftover cooked potatoes became mashed potatoes the next night, and leftover chicken was chopped into smaller pieces for new life as chicken salad. Made as part of Alphabet Soup Zaar Tag 2008.
