This was fantastic! I used 3 chix breasts because we like a little more sauce - next time though I would probably use 4 chix breasts. Just a little too much sauce. The flavor is fantastic. Next time I will add some fresh grated ginger. Yum! I will make this one again.

Excellent recipe. I followed this recipe exactly and it was delicious. The peanuts and green onions are a good idea. Next time I might add some hot peppers to the sauce. Well-done, Amis.
