I first tried a version of this recipe in a Home Chef meal delivery box. It was actually a meal I hadn’t planned on ordering, but it got delivered because I forgot to customize my box before the deadline. I am so happy it came though because it has become one of our go-to meals we make at home. I have slightly tweaked their original recipe and added some mushrooms. You can also make this without the mushrooms or water chestnuts if you have picky kids. It’s an easy recipe to tweak to your liking.
By the way, if you haven’t tried Home Chef yet, I highly recommend them. Right now you can score $90 off your first four Home Chef boxes (get $30 off your first 2 boxes & $15 off the 3rd and 4th box). We have loved all the meals we have tried and the convenience of prepping the meals is wonderful.
