I would add a minimal amount of broth next time and toss the chicken in the sauce. Sorry. Just way too bland for my family.

Very easy and delicious! I added zucchini too, and will probably add even more veggies next time. At the end I ladled out the sauce and boiled it on the stove for a while to thicken it up. It still didn't get too thick but was very flavorful. I have recommended this to several friends already!

This was alright. I used reduced sodium soy sauce and sodium less chicken broth, which is probably why it was less flavorful than others experienced. My husband and I are anti excessive salt people and I think this would have been one of the times it would have made a positive difference. I also threw in the frozen breasts like others did and by the time it was done the chicken was really tender. We might try it again but we aren't in any hurry.

I loved this - as did my husband. My 1 year old daughter ate the chicken but my picky (VERY picky) 3 year old said yuck. Taking advice from some others, I doubled (or tripled, I wasn't measuring) the sugar and doubled the ginger. I also used a 10 oz bag of frozen 3 pepper and onion mix (instead of the pepper and onion called for) and 3 frozen boneless skinless chicken breasts. I didn't brown it or anything, I just threw the "rocks" of chicken in, covered with the frozen veggies, and added the ingredients. After several hours, I stirred. Also, when I added the cornstarch, I doubled it, thinking that would help the syrupy texture. Good plan - on high for one hour, the sauce was delicious! The only thing I would do next time differently is add 1 or 2 more frozen chicken breasts! YUM!

I tried it and its good but it does need more seasonings. Red pepper flakes and maybe even triple the brown sugar and soy sauce and double the ground ginger would be a good idea. Based on the reviews of others, I doubled the brown sugar, soy sauce and ginger and it still needs more. All in all a good recipe just need to tweak the seasonings to suite your individual taste.
