My mother-in-law gave me this recipe, and we just love it. She used to make it for my husband and his friends when it was time to go back to school after summer break. Serve over rice.

This is good but let's just tweak the preparation a bit. The chicken does not need to be marinated. Sauté the chicken in the marinade ingredients but do NOT add the egg white and add the cornstarch later. Next add in the veggies and then add the minced garlic - careful not to burn it. Make a slurry with the cornstarch and chicken broth. Pour over the chicken and veggies. Stir to coat thoroughly. After tasting it I added about 1 tsp chili garlic sauce. If I make this again I'll add in some red bell pepper for color. Read More
