She has a photo of the original recipe from her mom. The recipe was written in a crowded mix of her mom’s Chinese and English. She described this as one of her favorite comfort foods. I knew then, that I needed to try making this. I changed a few things, mostly by accident, but it turned out wonderfully.

My husband, my boys and I ate every bite of this chicken. I will likely double the recipe next time I make it, so that we’ll be sure to have extra for lunch the next day!
