Oh! I am a huge fan of Gyudon (same dish with beef) so I think I'll love this one!

I love Oyakodon but I usually cut down on the sugar and salt (soy sauce) in most traditional Japanese recipes without causing a problem. Keep in mind that mirin also has a lot of sugar in it too.

i have been making this dish for a long time - it's great if you have left over chicken and rice in your fridge too...just cook the onion and add the already cooked pieces...add Broccoli or any veg for complete meal ( i also use dashi instead of chicken broth for milder taste). One of our fav. weeknight quick meals.
