This was full of flavor & so moist. I didn't have anything but chicken tenders & I just cut cooking time down a few min. I always make 3 days of food ahead all in 1 day & then we heat it up; cause we are always on the go!

We loved this recipe. A little prep work and then it was so easy and delicious. Will definitely make this again.

This was great. The only reason I am giving a 4 instead of a five is because you should use low sodium soy sauce and low sodium chicken broth. I used both and the recipe was absolutely delicious. I also changed the directions a bit so it was easier to cook with less steps. I cooked the chicken, removed it from the pan. Sauteed the ginger and scallions for about 3 minutes then added the remaining liquids. I let it boil then added the chicken back to the pan and let simmer 12 minutes and turned off the heat and rest 10 additional minutes. Thanks for the recipe, I needed a new way to cook chicken.

I WOULD CHANGE THE WAY IT IS MADE. INSTEAD OF ADDING CHICKEN BROTH I WOULD LEAVE THE CHICKEN IN THE PAN AND ADD EVERYTHING EXCEPT THE CHICKEN BROTH AND AT THE LAST COUPLE MINUTES I WOULD TAKE THE SIDE SAUCE POUR IT OVER THE CHICKEN AND REDUCE IT IN THE PAN WITH THE CHICKEN. IT WOULD BE MUCH MUCH BETTER!
