Loved it! Reason for 4 stars instead of 5 though is that it definitly needed the sauce doubled and a little heat from some added red pepper flakes. Husband loved it!

I don't normally review recipes when I don't follow them exactly. However, I hope that I might help fellow busy parents out and share the tweaks that I have made to make this a quick weeknight meal. First I seasoned boneless skinless thighs with salt, pepper, garlic powder and onion powder and I put them on the gas grill. In the meantime I made the sauce as stated in the recipe. (added crushed red pepper to taste; used fresh ginger and garlic) I chopped the green pepper, onion and water chestnuts and sauteed all three in olive oil. I mixed the veggies and sauce together and spooned over the grilled chicken. Served with white rice... Quick easy weeknight dinner in a 1/2 an hour.

Deee-licious! I followed LatinaCook's recommendation and coated the raw chicken with flour and a little salt (I used garlic salt) and pan fried it in a little olive oil. I definitely think that made a big difference! I minced green and red peppers, onions, and sweet potato and added it to the sauce before coating the chicken. Next time I would leave the onions sliced for a little texture/crunch. I also doubled the sauce, and it hardly covered the chicken even with the doubled sauce and veggies. I served over white rice but brown rice, quinoa, and pasta would work too. I will definitely make it again - hubbie and I both thought it was restaurant quality!

I cooked the chicken (only three breasts) with a little salt, pepper and cayenne in a splash of chicken broth first, then added the (full amount) onions and peppers until tender. Meanwhile I made the sauce(full amount), adding pineapple tidbits, simmering for five minutes. Then I combined the two and added red pepper flakes. I transferred to a casserole dish and baked for an hour, then topped with sliced green onions and sliced almonds. The almonds were an excellent addition, the whole thing was delicious.

This meal was yummy, but did not "wow" us. I took the suggestions of many and doubled the sauce, added 1 extra T of brown sugar, and added more veggies. Probably not top on our list to make soon, but will definitely try again.

This is one of those recipes that is completely over rated based on people making changes to it before rating it, because as it is, it's not very good at all. There is not enough sauce, and the little sauce there is doesn't have enough "zing" to compensate for the blandness of the chicken, green peppers, and water chestnuts. It's not terrible by any means, but it doesnt warrant the high rating without modification imo.

Needs a little extra, but it is good. What I did to make it better, was to shake the raw chicken chunks in a bowl with flour and a bit of salt. Then I cooked the pieces in a skillet with a bit of olive oil. I proceeded as directed but when it was all done cooking I tasted it and something was missing. I didn't have pineapple chunks (it needs it) so I added pineapple preserves and crushed red pepper flakes. Then, it was much better.
