Chicken and Sugar Snap Pea Saute image

Adapted from the Culinary Institute of America. A family favorite that I have tweaked for our tastes. A great light summer supper!! This is also very tasty with shrimp in lieu of the chicken.

I thought this dish was just okay. It wasn't bad, but it wasn't anything special either.

I would have liked the recipe to include more detailed instructions on how to cook the chicken. I ended up overcooking it a bit.

I thought this dish was just okay. The chicken was a bit dry and the vegetables were a bit overcooked.

The sauce was a bit too sweet for my taste, but I was able to easily adjust it by adding a little bit of lemon juice.

I loved that this dish was so easy to make. I had it on the table in under 30 minutes. It was also a great way to get my kids to eat their vegetables.
