The recipe was delicious! I made it pretty exact except for using Tofu instead of chicken. Also, I didn't use any Oyster Sauce since it's not vegetarian, but didn't affect the taste at all. Next time I'll try a vegetarian oyster sauce to see if it makes a difference.

This was pretty good. I pretty much followed the recipe plus the additions that elizabeth101 mentioned. Also I cooked the chicken separately and used vegetable broth since my husband is a vegetarian. I just cooked everything else, then left a little sauce in the skillet and cooked the chicken in that, and added it on top of my portion. I think it would have been a little bland without the changes.

This is a really good recipe that could be made wonderful by using a different cooking method. Next time I make this, I'll stir fry the veggies first, set them aside then cook the chicken, add the sauce and then add the veggies back in. At lot of reviewers added peanut butter as well, I'll probably do that, too.

Would add chicken earlier during onions & peppers. 2 T of sriracha. Needs a bit of corn starch. Add celery, maybe mango? Yum, though!

Super easy and delicious! I did add minced garlic, a dash more of soy sauce and extra chili paste : )

This is great. I did modify slightly to add vegetables. I used fresh organic veggies and organic free range chicken from Trader Joes and this definitely tasted like a healthy meal. The veggies I used included broccoli, snow peas, one yellow squash, one red bell pepper, one yellow bell pepper, shredded carrots, crimini mushrooms, and an onion. I did things in a slightly different order than listed in the recipe. I heated the chili paste and then also minced some fresh garlic in the vegetable oil. Then I added the chicken. I cooked it until no longer pink and then added the broccoli and onion. I let those sautee for a few minutes before adding all the other vegetables. In addition to the sauce ingredients listed, I also added a heaping tablespoon of peanut butter, the juice from one lime, and some fresh cilantro. I omitted the sugar entirely as I did not think it was necessary. This was fresh and tasty. I accompanied it with jasmine rice. Thank you for the recipe.

I am glad so many peope like it but this is not authentic. I've lived in Thailand for 6 years, never seen ketchup as a cooking ingredient. Whole Dried chilis should first be fried, til they darken, then removed from pan. Then loads of chopped garlic is cooked with the chicken, some onon and a bell pepper if you like. Ths sauce is dark soy plus "nam prik pao" chili paste, maybe some cornstarch and water to thicken, chicken broth if u like...Toast or fry the cashews before adding them in, stir in some green onion , sprinkle with some coriander too if you like. FYI - Thais usually dont throw veggies in the dish, but serve a separate veggie dish... but hey, whatever you like :-)

I made this last night for the first time and it was Excellent! The only thing I did different was to add some soy sauce like some of the other reviewers. I tried it today for lunch and it was even better. I especially liked that I can control the sodium myself. Thanks for a wonderful recipe!!

I thought this was excellent. Easy to make, and allows for a little 'personalization' in terms of heat, veggies, etc. I agree with other reviewers that you should cook the chicken first, and then add back in when the vegetables are done.
