Moo Goo Gai Pan

We used to eat moo goo gai pan in a little Chinese Restaurant in the Clear Lake area. It was so good.  They fried their chicken pieces. I don't think I ever tasted it that way since then. So I varied the recipe by coating the chicken with bread crumbs and frying it first. This is not necessary if you want to just pan fry it.
