  1. I blew it and added all the chicken broth & cornstarch in with everything else instead of waiting until the end and this was still delicious! Makes a thick,yummy sauce. The Kids absolutely loved it. Will be making this again (the right way!) soon!
     
  2. Easy chicken dish and quite tasty, too! I made this in my pressure cooker using boneless skinless chicken thighs (our preference). After 10 minutes the meat just fell apart and I added carrots (leftover from another night's dinner) and a can of water chestnuts. Will definitely make this one again! Thanks for posting this Marie!
     
  3. This was easy and tasted wonderful. One of my kids thought that the sauce was too gelatinous, but I liked it as is. I did cook it down quite a bit so I could just cook it less next time. I served this with Recipe #83524.
     
  4. We have this for dinner quite often - my husband is always requesting it! Very tasty and I always have the ingredients on hand. Even my toddler likes it.
     
  5. Thank you for sharing this recipe. It was very nice - & easy. I will make it again.

Tweaks

  1. I used one bag of cocktail shrimp instead of chicken, because somehow I ran out of breasts and didn't realize it. I thought this recipe sounded so good and so I thought I'd try it with shrimp! I withheld the 1/2 cup broth and cornstarch and just soaked the shrimp in the cold sauce for about 45 minutes. I put the shrimp in another bowl and brought the sauce to a boil. I then added the remaining broth/cornstarch and cooked that until it thickened. I added the shrimp and just brought it to a boil and served it immediately. It was delicious! I served it with "Mean Chef's Perfect Rice Everytime" Recipe #53520.
