Absolutely fantastic! Better than expected! I was only serving two and used one large breast, however I kept the sauce quantities much the same as I like a lot of sauce. I left out the green onions. Also used 200ml chicken stock instead of broth(don't know if there is a difference),and served over rice with steamed broccoli.

I just loved this recipe! The chicken was tender and moist and the sauce was delicious! I made exactly as directed and served over rice. Everyone cleaned their plate and asked for seconds! I will be serving this one again! Thanks for sharing, ~Pixie~!!

"Num-Nums!" as my dad used to say. I made it according to your recipe, and made 5 breasts because it's always iffy about seconds here. I loved the sauce, and kept piling it on my chicken. We had it with long-grain and wild rice, and broccoli and cauliflower.Very good!

I was not a big fan of this dish. I thought the gravy had a bit of a strange taste and that the whole dish was far too salty (even when I used low sodium soy sauce). However, my boyfriend liked it so maybe it was just a matter of preference. I won't make it again though.

This was an amazing recipe. DH actually grinned through the whole thing and insisted that I make it again in the future. The only thing I changed was to use two big chicken breasts instead of 4. It made extra gravy, but that was just fine with us!
