  1. This was really good. My husband does not like rice very well, so I just used some cooked pasta and it was still awsome! Thanks for posting a wonderful recipe!
     
  2. I was a little skeptical of this recipe given the ingredients but it was soooo good. It really does taste like a sweet and sour chinese dish. The only changes I made was to use orange jello and I cooked my chicken breasts whole and then after they were cooked I cut into strips. Next time I will add more veggies and double the sauce. And there there will be a next time and a next time and a next time!
     
  3. Like other reviewers, I really did enjoy! When tasted it, said, "OH BOY!" Quick, so easy to do, LOVE it was no fat and not gluggy like some lemon chicken can come out too!
     
  4. Really simple and tasty. Awesome.
     
  5. When I saw this recipe I had to try it. It sounded so interesting and it did not disapoint. This is awsome and full of flavor. Very easy and quick for a week night treat.

Hi it's fun to be part of RecipeZaar! I work full time and in my spare time I like to experiment in the kitchen. I also enjoy small hikes, biking and the outdoors. I look forward to travelling to new destinations in the future. It is always nice to try different tastes from different restaurants. I enjoy trying to recreate some of the memorable meals I have shared with my husband. He is more than willing to attempt any of my kitchen creations. I am an avid cookbook collector and my husband teases that I could open my own library! I guess I am always seeking that "perfect recipe". I have found many great recipes here on Zaar and I think some of the greatest cooks are on this site!! I hope you enjoy the recipes that I share with you. Have fun! Decadent1
