Excellent. Flavor was great. I used a couple tablespoons of chicken broth to add flavor while sauteing. Anything the kids will eat is a hit in my book.

I am a retired teacher who enjoys cooking and eating different foods. I had just settled in to cooking for two when my daughter moved in with her two. Now I am cooking for kids again. Although I do Weight Watchers, we can all eat the same things. Everyone loves the recipes I have tried here. When I am not cooking I play Slingo!!
