Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 pound ground chicken
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1/2 onion, diced
- 1/4 cup hoisin sauce

Reviews
Too much sodium!!
This recipe has far too much sodium in it. Even if you use low sodium soy sauce, that is still 1200 mgs sodium just for the soy sauce, and the hoisin sauce adds even more. People with poorly functioning livers should restrict or eliminate sodium.
Easy & Delicious!
My husband was diagnosed with stage 3 cirrhosis and we have had to make a lot of changes to his diet. He is also diabetic so it is difficult finding recipes that work for all of his challenges. I am a long time foodie and want whatever I make to be good, this recipe covers all of our requirements. It’s healthy and easy and delicious. I’ve made them twice now and we both love them.
