    Delicious!.. but this wont feed six with one breast, used 4. I also didnt use a food processor. Just take your time and do a fine chop on the veggies, ginger, garlic, etc. I recommend using Boston Bibb lettuce as it makes a nicer cup. Keep the lettuce leaves in cold water to keep them crisp. This came out just great each time I make this. You can also add some nuts ie cashews or pecans to the veggies as they cook.
    Just a last comment. Whoever figured out the nutritional values needs to rethink the calculations. The amount of fat ( 74.8 grams per serving ) INCLUDES the 2 cups of peanut oil you cook the chicken in..
