Reviews

“The recipe was good and easy to make.It’s not one of the best recipes I’ve had, but it’s tasty and very healthy.I might do it again, but add sweet-n-sour sauce or some other thick sauce.”

“I thought the tast was great but found the cooking time to long and the 1 1/2 inch pieces cooked all apart. I think I would cook this again but make the pieces larger and cut back on the cooking time.”

“This was pretty tasty!It is different from the typical “Hawaiian” chicken because of the hot sauce.I think I’d add MORE hot sauce next time.I also added a bit of garlic, and some snow peas to the dish.My only gripe is that the chicken cooks so much faster than the carrots and ends up kindof dry.Maybe boiling the carrots a bit before crocking it all would help.This was great over rice.”
