I don't measure the mushrooms or tomatoes. I just put enough in to my liking... less tomatoes and lots of mushrooms. I also cut the chicken into bite size pieces after grilling since that's what I end up doing anyway while eating it. And, my sauce never thickens! Once you put it on your noodles it sort of thickens anyway. I've made this twice so far and it's been really good each time. Kyle absolutely loves it!Enjoy!
