***Made for Pets'R'us cookathon event May 2010*** In the infamous words of Tony the Tiger, this was GGGRRREAT! I really enjoyed this. 2 things I did different, not by choice though. I used regualar cabbage because the Bok Choy was horrible at the store. And I cannot get red chiles here. So, I used a chili garlic sauce, and added in about 1/2 tsp of red pepper flakes. It was perfect amount of "heat" for me. Thanks Pets for such a great recipe.

Yum! I marinated the chicken thighs for about 4 hours. Made a double batch, so I wasn't able to stir-fry it properly. I don't care, though! =) I added mushrooms, squash, broc, cauli, & other stir fry veggies along with the bok choy and asparagus. Turned out wonderfully moist and delicious. Hubby requested it again

Quick, easy and very good stir-fry. I had to substitute chili garlic sauce as I didn't have the sweet chili sauce. I also had to use dried arbol peppers. I broke them open and dumped the seeds on the chicken. Served with brown rice. This would probably also work well with carrots, broccoli, and mushrooms if bok choy or asparagus are not available. We'll be having this again. Thanks for posting.

I was looking for a way to use some Asian condiments along with some asparagus that was about ready to be tossed I had in the frige and came across this recipe and so glad I did! Delicious! We used chicken tenders and I made the marinade before work and came home to finish up dinner - so easy and perfect over rice, even though I skipped the red chilies (I was out) and only used three garlic cloves--it was still spiced just right. Thanks for sharing!

Very, very good stir fry. The sauce is delicious. I cut the recipe dowm for 2 people and made it just like the recipe said. Marinated it for about 4 hours. The chicken has such a good flavor and the sauce is great with the asparagus and bok choy. DH loved this I will be making it again, thank you pet's.
