I modified this recipe for 3 pounds of chicken rather than 1 pound of chicken because I had 3 guys to feed and myself :) Instead of using boneless skinless chicken breast, I used boneless skinless chicken thighs. I followed the ingredients exactly as the recipe stated but I added one more because I wanted to add a vegetable/green item (because I went on a weekend trip where I had no vegetables at all, I was craving some veggies!) Initially, I was thinking if adding green bell peppers, but when I was talking to the Mister about it, he told me at the Panda Express they use zucchini for their kung pao chicken. Zucchini is my favorite squash, so it was a great choice for an addition to the dish. The verdict--- very good! The Mister, the guys, and I all thought it was good. One said it was just like the restaurant. I will definitely cook it again. And it was one of the only recipes where I had all the ingredients at my house!
