Very good, and easy. As one reviewer suggested, I used a bag of broccoli slaw instead of chopping carrots and broccoli myself. I added a bit of garlic, and a bit of red pepper flakes...we like a little spice. I had leftover turkey from the Christmas feast, so it was a very quick meal, and a total hit with everyone. -
Made this for my boys for lunch. I followed the recipe other then I used a bag of coleslaw mix instead of the broccoli and carrots. I didn't add the optional sesame seeds. I used a 12.5 ounce can of chicken. My boys enjoyed it and I liked how easy it was to make. -
We Loved it even my picky daughter loved it... it helps that her fav food is Top Ramen but she had two helpings. It was easy I just used left over chicken from a baked chicken and added the Veggies. Quick Easy and really good tasting. Thanks !!!! -
YUM! I loved this meal! Cheap and easy to prepare. I did marinate my chicken in some store brand soy and honey sauce and added a red capsicum as i had it in the fridge, I will definitely be making this again!

I was born and raised in the beautiful state of South Carolina. I lived there my whole life until June 2005 months ago when we decided we were tired of dealing with the cold weather and opted to move back to my husband's birthplace (sunny Panama). We are really enjoying the tropical weather (and all the fresh, free produce in our yard) We have mango, papaya, grapefruit, banana, and coconut trees in our yard. No veggetable garden yet, but I hope there will be soon! Our family loved to eat out alot in the States, but as there are not many quality restraunts here (we have Tony Roma's and TGI's) I'm learning to prepare more food at home. I live here with my husband, 3 daughters, son, my mother, and my husband's grandmother. (So we have a FULL house!) I didn't cook much growing up (or eat meat much) so when I married someone who says, a meal isn't meal without meat I had to learn real quick. I was so thrilled to find recipezaar! I get bored with eating the same thing, so its great having a never ending source of recipes at my fingertips.
