  1. What an absolutely fantastic recipe-we totally loved this!!<br/>Sweet,spicy sauce...crisp succulent chicken....just delicious!!<br/>We'll be eating this one again and again!!
     
  2. OMG This was just excellent. All the flavors went so well together. My chicken turned out very crisp, which we loved. I also added a little more red pepper flakes, cut the salt to 1/4 tsp for personal preferences and cut the peas (which I used frozen peas) to about 1/4 cup and used 2 green onions. Thanks so much for sharing. Will make this again. Made for PRMR :)
     
  3. The chicken breasts I had for this dish were huge so used 4 of them & made the recipe as given! I'm always on the lookout for great new ways to fix chicken since we eat a lot of it, & this one was absolutely outstanding, but then we do enjoy fruity tastes with many of our meats, so . . . Served it over brown rice & it was a major hit! Next time I'll share it with company! Many thanks for sharing it with us! [Tagged & made in Please Review My Recipe]
     
  4. Absolutely delicious! I added more red pepper flakes so it had this sweet/spicy thing going on...and it was so good!
     
  5. Makes a wonderful rice bowl. Enjoyed the crispiness of the chicken coated with all that yummy sweet and spicy sauce. The red pepper flakes add just the right amount of heat. Made as written and would not change a thing. Thanks so much for the tasty post.

I love cooking for family and friends. I especially enjoy baking...it is like combining art and science to create something extraordinary. I am most known for making desserts like Recipe #336060. My pet peeve: when people sign-up to bring dessert to a pot-luck or dinner party and they bring something pre-made from the store. My friends and family now know to always let me bring the dessert. :) I enjoy traveling and believe that one of the best ways to experience a culture is through food. I have lived in Germany, Spain and Switzerland, and currently live in the US. My rating system: 5 stars - Excellent! Delicious! Could not be better...will make often. 4 stars - Very good! May tweak slightly. 3 stars - Good base recipe. Will need to tweak. 2 stars - Ok. Will keep looking.
