I was disappointed with this recipe. I found it flavorless, but I did like the way the broccoli turned out, so I rated it two stars instead of just one.

This was pretty tasty - though a bit soupy. I used brown rice vermicilli with it.

The "sauce" for this did not have much flavor and it was definitely too soupy, even though I reduced the water to 2 cups. I won't be making this again.

This recipe is awesome! My boyfriend and I couldn't get enough! I did reduce the water to 2 1/2 cups like someone else suggested. I also left out the carrots, because I didn't have any, but I'm glad I did. It was great with just the chicken and broccoli-and I'm not usually a fan of cooked carrots. I also cooked the chicken with some minced garlic(tossed it in when chicken was almost done, to avoid burning the garlic). The sauce got thick quickly once I added the cornstarch, but still cooked for 2 min.-stayed the same thickness. Served it over rice and it was PERFECT! Update: I have since made this a few times. My only new changes are I add 1 more Tbs. Soy sauce and about a Tsp. of Worcestershire Sauce. I also add onion powder to the chicken while is cooks with oil and garlic. Yummy!!!

This recipe overall was good. I tweaked alittle by adding some minced garlic. I didnt have any carrots so I just used broccoli. I seasoned my chicken with garlic and onion powder, adobo, and black pepper. I sauteed some minced garlic in olive oil then added chicken and cooked for about 6 minutes until no longer pink. In a seperate pan I added more of the olive oil and minced garlic then added the broccoli and cooked for about 5 minutes. At the same time in a pot I used 1 1/4 cup of chicken broth and 1 cup of water added the bouillon, soy sauce, cornstarch and once again more minced garlic( I love garlic so much). Once I got my sauce to the consistency I wanted it I combined the chicken, broccoli, and sauce in one pan then simmered for about 5 minutes. It was more like a chicken and broccoli with garlic sauce than a stir fry. I served with yellow rice and it was delicious. Will definitely make again.

Any recipe claiming to be a 'stir fry' with over 500ml of liquid has gotta be taking the mickey. Aaaanyway, what i did was use 60ml chicken stock instead of the water. Oh and i added a roughly chopped garlic clove when i cooked the chicken as well. And completely ignored the whole cornstarch thang. If you use little liquid, like i did, its just not neccessary.

This is now one of my families favorite "take out" at home recipes. It is not a stir fry, but is more like Chicken and Broccoli from our favorite Chinese restaurant. (Except mine is better!!) To cook the chicken, I use a few dashes of sesame seed oil mixed with some olive oil. When it is time for the veggies, I add a bit more sesame seed oil, an onion, sliced water chestnuts and canned mushroom slices along with the broccoli and carrots. I then add about a tablespoon or so of Szechuan Spicy Stir Fry Sauce and a few dashes of soy sauce. (And maybe some red pepper flakes) I am trying this with steak tonight, with beef bullion, so we shall see!!

I thought this recipe was really good. The only change I made was adding some green bellpepper, it spiced it up a bit. :) and be sure to serve this with soy sauce on the side because it is a bit bland

I reduced the liquid as other members suggested and decided it was a bit bland. I tossed in some oyster sauce, an dhad a pretty decent brown sauce.

The way I made it,I would give it 5 stars. I reduced the 3 cups of water to 2 1/2 cups, added minced garlic (to taste) and hoisin sauce (about 2 Tbsp) to the boiling water. I don't think it was too liquidy. I saw that someone tried to substitute flour for the cornstarch. You can't really do that and get the same results. I used the cornstarch, and it thikened up perfectly and my boyfriend LOVED it.

I loved this recipe, I added some sliced onions. I read the review that it was to watery, so I cut back on the liquid to 2 cups, then it was to dry.

I did not follow the recipe to the T, but it gave me a basis to go from. And my son even ate it and after each bite said "Ummm this is good!" That's what matters to me.
