This is an easy recipe with easy to find ingredients. I made it as written except I sautéed the onions separate (for my daughter-in-law who cannot eat onions due to diet restrictions). The seasonings need to be jacked up a bit. Would suggest adding peanut sauce or peanut butter and maybe marinating the chicken before cooking with a honey/soy marinade. I served it over Chinese style noodles.
