This was hearty, basic fare that was nonetheless excellent. We didn't have an electric skillet, cut back on the vegetable oil and used soy based chicken strips because we're vegetarian (less cooking time and no fat to drain). Also, we used a can of artichoke hearts instead of lima beans which we forgot to pick up (hehe). I hope this isn't too many changes for a rating, but I must say we really liked it!
