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.

This turned out just wonderful. My luau guests gave it rave reviews. I tried to double the recipe and the sauce came out a little runny, but it tasted great!

This was a really good recipe, we served it for a Hawaiian themed game night - it went over really well. I will definitely make it again. Thanks!

I thought this recipes was great as is. The only change i made was i used less chicken because I only had 4 large breasts. But it tasted wonderful. I served with a simple coconut rice. I will make again!!!

Good easy meal. I added pineapple chunks and pepper flakes to dish. I didn't pre-cook the chicken, I figured an hour in the oven would cook it fully (shortcut). I did double the sauce recipe.

This is a great recipe that I will be adding to my favorites. I made it for a luau and doubled the other ingredients but tripled the sauce ingredients so I would have more for on the side to add to the white rice if needed. The only thing I changed was I put one can of bamboo shoots and one can of water chestnuts and used green, red and yellow peppers to equal two peppers for more color. I would recommend this recipe
