We really enjoyed these. Hubby wasn't to sure when I told him what we were having , but he loved it. We both loved feeling like we were eating alot for so little calories. We put the filling in tortillas for the kids with melted cheese ...kinda like a quesadilla and they liked that alot. A yummy, filling, and healthy meal. Thanks Wildflour. Made for bevy tag 2009.

These were very quick and easy to prepare and looked tastytoo......but evidentally we aren't that crazy about hoisin sauce either. I might try this again with a different hoisin sauce and add something. I really wanted to love this, but can't say I did. Nothing wrong with this recipe, it just didn't click with our tastes. Thanks for sharing it with us! ZWT 4 Summer '08

This was very easy to prepare and I used grilled chicken instead of boiled chicken. I also added water chestnuts to give it more crunch. Sorry to say both my husband and I found the sauce a little strong and spicy. But it is more our taste, than anything wrong with the recipe. Prepared for the ZWT 2008
