Name compliments of my sous-chef, Katelyn. 😉 Katelyn (who is 12) loves to assist me in the kitchen, and she’s a huge help.
Katelyn cut all the cabbage for me. She cut it angel-hair thin, too. Mmmm…
Tender chicken and mushrooms; a flavorful, Asian-inspired sauce;Â occasional crunches of peanut.
This one even got my dad’s approval-and he’s not one for funky flavors (he’ll eat what I put in front of him, but something has to be good for him to pronounce it as such).
This recipe is great for larger families or small families who want lots of leftovers.
If you omit the butter, peanuts, and your chicken base is fat-free, this is actually a FP recipe. I haven’t tried it with those changes, and I’m sure it wouldn’t be quite as good, but if you need FP ideas, I just thought I’d toss that idea out there.

Briana, is this in your cookbook? I’m not finding it in the Main Dishes section.
No, I’m afraid it’s not. I had several other similar recipes to put in the cookbook, so I decided to omit this one.
