Mushrooms & Chicken

Typical simple dinner fair. It's almost all in one! If you don't have carbs, then yes it can be. Otherwise it's a pretty standard dish to eat with rice. Yum. Rice. Seriously there is no food better than rice and some sort of dish to eat with it. Either that or just rice. But this was pretty good. K ate all the peppers and mushrooms in his bowl and then ate more of it the next day for his lunch. So proud that he eats so much veggies. I hope this lasts. >_>

Anywho, you can also make it vegetarian by using medium firm tofu instead of the chicken. It's what I'd do if it was just K and me eating. But Hubby needs his meat. Meh.
