This recipe is a great way to use up leftover chicken. I made a big batch of chicken breasts on the weekend, and I used them to make this dish on Monday night.

This recipe was a good starting point, but I made a few changes to suit my taste. I added some garlic and ginger to the marinade, and I used a different type of oil.

The chicken was a bit overcooked. I would recommend cooking it for a shorter amount of time next time.

The marinade was a bit too salty for my taste. I would recommend using less soy sauce or salt next time.

This recipe was a bit bland for my taste. I think it could have used more seasoning in the marinade. The chicken was also a bit dry.
