Great Quick Recipe!! I added a finely diced chile to the marinade to add some heat. I also used chicken broth instead of water, like many other readers suggested.

Jammin! For a real Caribbean feel I wanted grilled so I marinated the chicken added all the ingredients except for the flour, bouillon and water for 4 hours. Removed the marinade and added to a pot along with the chicken broth in place of the water and cube mixed with the flour till smooth. Cooked till thick and smooth for 10 minutes. Thanks! Made for ZWT5

Just loved this one as the pairing of ginger, basil and onions worked so well together. I made this into a low fat dish by sauteeing the chicken cutlets in just 1 tablespoon of chili oil. Baked my chicken in the sauce with the onion but skipping the the flour or magarine. Once it was done reduced the sauce on the stove top and thickened it with a bit of arrowroot. The result was a rich onion brown sauce with ginger and basil accents that were just delicious. This multi-step process made me think it might be easier to just simmer the chicken on the stove top which would save both a step and an extra pan. Nonetheless, the flavor was just wonderful.

The sauce from this is wonderful! I used chicken broth in place of water and omitted the bouillon cube and accent seasoning, also I did some miner amount adjustments, and doubled the complete recipe. Thanks for sharing Nick's Mom!...Kitten:)
