This was just okay for me, but my man liked it pretty well! I could not find any yellow zucchini, so I substituted some fresh broccoli and a little green pepper. It's a good stir-fry, but it was the sauce that I thought was off. It was too sweet for me, and not quite the balance of sweet/sour I was looking for. Also, my vegetables didn't retain the vibrant color I was hoping for - perhaps because the instructions say to cook them first before adding the chicken. Thank you, Ninu, for the recipe. It has potential. Made for PAC Spring 2010
