    I tweeked this recipe a bit by adding some snap peas, carrots and water chestnuts instead of mushrooms. I also added soy sauce and a little bit of brown sugar, extra cashews and fresh broccoli instead of frozen, and green onions instead of regular onion. Came out very good and tasty! - 8/19/12

    This was amazing! I had been craving chinese food, and this hit the spot! I used fresh broccoli florets instead of frozen and I added a TBSP. of soy sauce. We will be having this on a regular basis!! YUM! - 10/25/10

    If you want to take it up a notch (also a little unhealthier though) coat the chicken with egg, dip in flour and then in a wok with a little bit of oil, fry the chicken. Take it out, then stir fry your veggies in the wok, add your sauce, put the chicken back in to coat with sauce and then serve! - 4/23/13

    Sounds good, I'm planning on making it tonight! But I noticed it says it serves 4 in the directions but it says it serves 8 in the nutrient information. Which is right? If it only serves 4, do I double the calorie content? - 1/14/13

    Thanks for posting! I boiled 1T butter, 1T soy sauce, and chicken broth (all low sodium). I didn't have Ginger so I added 1T Chilli Powder and some garlic. Use fresh veggies also. My picky husband even liked it! - 9/1/11

    I also added minced garlic and some chili paste. And I used green onions instead of a whole one. ALso fresh mushies and unsalted cashes which seemed to add a little more sweetness than the salted. ALl in all very yummy. - 1/17/09

    I thought this was very good. My family thought it was a little bland though. All in all I would make it again, it was easy and I thought tasty. - 9/8/08
