I really liked this! I doubled the recipe and OMG I've got enough leftovers for the next three nights, I think the original recipe is probably plenty for 4-5. It did taste like take out, which is what I was hoping for. I also used low sodium chicken broth to get the salt level down a bit and it came out great. I'll be keeping this recipe!

I recently got married and have become interested in cooking. I need to find low sodium healthy recipes to cook for my husband, who takes medication for high blood pressure and high cholesterol. I'm glad there's a great site like Recipezaar where I can find some good recipes!
