I have to say that this is the BEST Ground Chicken recipe ever! I followed the directions to the "T" except I fried the ground chicken first. I seasoned the chicken with garlic, a little bit of garlic salt & pepper. I then took it out of the pan and set it aside and continued with directions provided, of cooking the veggies. I then added the meat back and cooked it until the cauliflower was just right.. The rest is history! I also doubled the SAUCE recipe just in case it needed more flavor towards the end. I highly recommend this recipe!

I just prepared this delicious dish. I made a few substitutions, given what I had on hand: for ginger, I used 2 frozen ginger cubes dissolved in the smallest amount of boiling water; the vegetables I sauteed include 1 medium-sized sweet onion, 1 chopped medium-sized zucchini, 1 large bag of frozen broccoli. I also added about 1/2 tsp of spicy red pepper flakes to the sauce. In place of using a lime, I used a Meyer lemon. For sugar, I used 1 tsp raw sugar. This dish is extremely delicious! I hope I make it again soon!

This was very good! Great option for ground chicken. It definitely needed some heat. Next time I will add some crushed red pepper.
