"I have listed 2-3 tablespoons of minced garlic, you may of coarse adjust to taste --- the steamed broccoli may be replaced with sauteed fresh mushrooms --- make this as spicy as you like by adjusting the crushed chili flakes or you may omit completely --- make certain to have everything prepared and handy near your wok or skillet before starting this --- NOTE; this does not make a lot of sauce so I would strongly suggest to double the sauce amounts --- serve with cooked rice."

very bland and sweet and I agree with Melissa. Try Stir-Fry Chicken with Garlic Sauce #151177 instead and skip this one.

Sorry, but this tasted nothing like the garlic chicken I have had from Chinese take-out. It was OKAY tasting, but a little bit on the bland side. I even doubled the sauce as suggested. Oh well. Kittencal, I have tried many of your recipes, and for the most part they are fantastic. Thank you so much for sharing with us.

Garlic Chicken has always been a favorite of ours. We had a favorite restaurant that used to serve it and they closed :O( This is the closest that we have ever come to that restaurants! Thank you Kit! We left out the red pepper flakes out. The next time that we make this we will be adding water chestnuts, maybe some bokchoy, & doing a rough chop on the yellow onions so they don't become so stringy. This is now our go to stir-fry. We loved it! Another 5 star!!!
