I have made several friends on the Recipe Exchange at AllRecipes.com. One of them posted a request asking other members to each suggest one ingredient and challenged me to make a dish out of only those ingredients, plus salt and pepper. Read more After 15 minutes, she gave me the list. People had so much fun participating and I had a blast creating the dish. It turned out so good that my kids licked their plates! The recipe you see here is the result of that incredibly fun challenge. See less

This was delicious! Had to leave out the mushrooms cause I forgot I needed them and threw them in some stock :( Oh well, still VERY good though! I did have to add a little cornstarch/water to the sauce to get it to thicken quicker (we were hungry)...more
