From the Chef

“Using 1 pound of boneless, skinless breast meat instead of both light meat and dark meat reduces the fat and calorie content.

“Using 1 tablespoon of low sodium soy sauce instead of 3 tablespoons regular soy sauce reduces the sodium content.

“Reducing the peanut oil in half, from 2 to 1 tablespoon helps reduce the total fat and calories.

“Using 1½ cups of low sodium chicken broth instead of 3 cups of chicken stock to reduce sodium levels.

“Reducing the oyster sauce from 3 tablespoons to 1 reduces the sodium content.”
