Very easy, quite tasty. I used half the quantity of regular soy sauce as I didn't have light. I also used bone-in thigh cutlets, the chicken fell off the bones and I picked them out. My young family ate it all up.
I didn't have light soy sauce so I added half a cup of water and it came out great. I added red capsicum, carrot and onion. I'm a cook on a cattle station in remote NT Australia and all the boys I cooked for loved it. Thanks for sharing!
Something else.
this was my very first meal ive cooked in my new slow cooker, very easy to make only downside is 'light soy sauce' my local supermarket doesnt sell it so used normal and it turned out very tangy, plus i think the chicken ended up over cooked!
I also added broccoli and cauliflower!
This recipe tastes so nice, by all rights it should be much more complicated to prepare. I used about 500g of chicken tenderloins and bulked it out with finely sliced carrot, onion and capsicum. I used 1 tsp of ground ginger. My kids were a little dubious looking at it but after the first mouthful were saying 'Yum, this is delicious'. An easy meal that will become a family staple in our home I think.
This recipe is so easy and so yummy! I plan to cook this again with duck instead. It reminds me of a Chinese dish we had back home. 5 Star for this. Thanks for sharing.
My wife and I loved this. I served it over mash and added carrots and broccoli on the side, only used half the chicken but will have enough for a quick meal anon.
Lovely dish, easy to prepare and very popular with the workmates. I used a kilo of chicken breast fillets (because that's what was in the fridge at the time), and added capsicum, onion and a little vinegar to the sauce at the thickening stage. I served it with noodles - this quantity comfortably fed five adult males. Will definitely make again.
Used different ingredients.
I added half a chopped red capsicum, half a green chopped capsicum and half a chopped onion to the sauce for colour, as well as two tablespoons of vinegar for a little added tang.
Delicious!!! Followed the recipe to the letter except that there were 3 extra thighs in the pack I had. It worked out beautifully .. served over white rice. There's just the two of us here so there was plenty to portion up and freeze. Yummo .. it's definitely a winner here!!!
