OMG!!!!! Made these for dinner tonight. They are so good. I just had to add about a 1/2 cup of water before the end. I wanted to make sure there was enough sauce for the rice.Will be making these again. Thanks for a great recepie.

These are really yummy! I especially liked the sauce. Next time I'll double the sauce to use on the rice because it was a great combination. So simple and so good. Thanks bmcnichol for a nice meal. Made for Please Review My Recipe Tag.

This looks just like our sweet and sour but with the added chinese five spice. You actually don't need the five spice, it's too much or a couple of the other ingredients.

I love chicken and I love just about anything Asian, so I knew I would love this recipe and I did! My friend and I had this for dinner along with Recipe #294635. It was an excellent meal and the chicken had just the right amount of heat and sweetness for us! I will be having this again and again! Thank you for sharing Bmcnichol!
