Not sure about this one! I added about 4 garlic cloves when cooking the chicken. Also, I added extra soy sauce, seasme seed oil and garlic salt to the sauce. It was pretty good after that, but definitely not one of my favorites!

Not bad at all... I used sesame oil instead of vegetable oil and added some garlic. We loved it!

This was a tasty recipe, but I did a few additions that will definitely perk this up. Instead of doubling the soy sauce like other reviewers, I added Oyster Sauce (about 2 tbsp.). I am Asian, and oyster sauce is used substantially in brown sauces. I did not add as much broth, but eyeballed the amount of liquid I wanted as a sauce. I also used maybe 3 tbsp. of cornstarch and that was thick enough. Also, I added chopped garlic in the oil first and fried the chicken. Then I seasoned with salt, pepper and onion powder for an extra kick. I also added some chopped green onion (scallions) with the celery. The textures were wonderful and the taste sensational. If you finish the sauce with a few drops of sesame oil, it will taste as authentic as a real Chinese restaurant!

Just like I get at China Garden! One thing I would recommend is either to purchase raw cashews, or rinse off the salted ones, as with the salt, soy sauce and chicken broth, salted cashews would be WAY too salty.

I should have consulted the reviews again before cooking. Followed the recipe exactly, and it was good but very bland. Additional vegetables would have helped.

Very easy and good. It made 8 servings but we ate them all! I edited by doubling the soy sauce, only used 2 cans of broth, steamed some frozen stir fry vegetables, then added to the sauce, and added red pepper flakes. Served over brown rice.

My husband and I found this to be absolutely delicious. It's so versatile to. I added a few more veggies, and even tried it with ground turkey, and minced crab on two seperate occasions. a definite keeper in my kitchen.

Fantastic recipe, although I left out the celery. I am not a skilled cook, but this was EASY and my super-picky guy loved it. Next time I would like to try another liquid than the chicken broth, maybe lemon, pineapple juice or peanut buttery sauce too.

Less oil, more soy sauce, more water chestnuts, more pepper, added garlic. Served with white rice, this made about 8 servings and was pretty tasty and well-received at our house. One word of caution: when refrigerated and then reheated, the cornstarch sauce tends to get a bit thick and gloppy (as cornstarch does). Although this doesn't really affect the taste greatly, the visual effect can be less than pleasing.

It was kinda bland so I kept adding soy sauce, hoping to add some taste. The consistancy was much like a thick soup, rather than your typical cashew chicken. Not a favorite.
