EXPERT TIPS

Expert Tips

Chicken strips for stir-frying conveniently save prep and cleanup time. Look for packages of chicken strips in the grocery store's poultry section.

Substitute 2 cups of thawed frozen cut green beans for the lima beans.

For spicier flavor, add more hot pepper sauce to the sauce.

Fresh basil brightens recipes simply and quickly; omit the dry basil and stir in 2 tablespoons of chopped fresh basil just before serving.

This dish was super quick and easy! Nice flavor, my 2yr old loved it! Next time however we might add a bit more hot sauce... It didn't have quite the punch I was looking for.

This is a "keeper". Easy and very good. I used fresh tomatoes and chicken broth vs. canned tomatoes. Also increased hot sauce to 4 tsp. and basil to 1 1-2 tsp. I also added 1 tsp. garlic powder in addition to the garlic salt. Simmered an additional 15 minutes so flavors could blend more. My husband went back for thirds!
