Oriental Chicken

I got this recipe from my sister Cindy.  I love rice and chicken, add a little oriental flavor and you have delicious.  Make sure you don’t overcook the chicken. This is really easy and my family always loves it.

I like a little more sauce so I usually make 1 1/2 the sauce.

• 1/3 cup chopped onion
• 1/3 cup chopped celery
