Enjoyed this recipe very much. I used 2-9 oz. packages of Perdue Shortcuts Italian flavor (that's what I had on hand) and about 8 green onions; white and green parts. The only changes I will make the next time will be to use a little more chicken broth and corn starch for increased sauce.

My family really enjoyed this dish. I doubled the chicken amount, and next time will cut out at least a cup of noodles if not more.v
