I changed to chocolate pudding and white chocolate chips....waaaay better than the old recipe i was using that called for cocoa powder.

I love this recipe! I use boneless, skinless chicken breasts cut in half that I marinade in the sauce combo (Minus the oil) before baking. As other reviewers have said it is best to pile the potatoes on top so they don't get soggy. I also use baby red potatoes with this, their bitterness paired with the vinegar really works for me. The only reason I gave it four stars is because my husband complains about the vinegar smell EVERY time I make this. He thinks something electrical is burning.

I have been meaning to make this recipe for a long time, and I am so glad I finally did! Don't let the "Vicious" scare you, this recipe is fabulous! I did modify it just slightly for personal tastes, as we all should, but only minimally: 1/2 Tbsp red pepper flakes, and only 1 cup white vinegar. The vinegar/soy sauce combo is outstanding! The sugar does a great job of sweetening the sauce as well. My husband doesn't like peas and so, to add some crunch with the chicken and mushrooms, I added sliced celery instead. Superb! I think next time I will use more chicken, we both were left wanting more after the meat was gone!
