I really enjoyed this. The only changes I made were to season the chicken when sauteing and using chicken broth instead of water. This is a keeper!

I made it with 2 large chicken breasts cut in strips, at least 1 lb. but it is tasteless. It has no flavor. Not Just bland.

I agree that this dish was bland, but I might make it again and try replacing the water with chicken broth, and I would also increase the chicken to 1 pound. The dish seemed too much like a side dish instead of a main dish.

Enjoyed it a lot but thought it was a little bland so we added some soy sauce and it was just what it needed. We all had seconds.
