     Loved it! I easily made this for two and used a 12-oz frozen 3-pepper blend. Also, here's a tip for making brown rice: On a Saturday I make a 2-pound bag. When it's done & cool, I portion out into baggies in 1-cup amts. Put them in a freezer bag. When needed, microwave 1 min/baggie! - 9/5/12

     I thought the dish was delish and so did my husband. I baked mine at 350 for 30 minutes instead of grilling though. This is definately going on my list for future meals. - 1/5/10

     Delicious. I cooked it in the oven at 425 for about 25 min. I used brown rice and made my own sweet and sour sauce. Will definitely make again! - 3/7/09

     Made this for dinner tonight, it was super yummy. I also added some Broccoli to it - I thought that it was the best part!!!! This is going in my recipe book for sure! - 7/13/10

     I thought the total calories was a little high for a chicken dinner dish. I don't think 4 oz of chicken cooked yields 286 calories. - 6/15/14

     SOOOO EASY! And the sweet and sour sauce that spark people has is great on it! Very easy to make and put together. I followed it to a T. I felt like I was eating at a fancy restaurant. So good. I will for sure be making this again! - 7/30/12

     I really love this recipe. I did a bit of messing around with it and made egg rice, stewed carrots and celery. It was super good and it's a healthly close alternative to the real thing. - 1/25/19

     I made this last night. The only change I made was not using green pepper (I used red, yellow, and orange). I grilled them for about 22 minutes over high heat. Used minute brown ready rice. It was amazing. I will definitely be making this again. Can't wait to have the leftovers today!! - 7/9/14

     pretty good... it was def better for leftovers the next day after the chicken had absorbed the juices. - 12/3/10

     It was just ok. I cooked this in the oven. The sauce and veggies were great but the chicken was just boring. - 11/10/10
  • BURGHGIRL
     My kid were asking for second and third helpings of this! And that is a miracle in itself! This meal was fantastic. I did bake it at 400 for 25 minutes, and the chicken was quite juicy! This will definitely become a family staple. - 11/1/10

     I am making this tonight for dinner. My children always want sweet and sour chicken from the chinese place, so I am going to offer this and see how it goes! - 7/10/10

     I made this on the grill. My husband and I loved this recipe. We used a bit extra sweet and sour sauce for dipping, otherwise we loved it. Next time I think I will double the veggies. Yum!! - 6/22/10

    I used the regular Uncle Ben's Brown rice that takes about 25 minutes. Any kind of rice works though! I hope you like it!
