I made this last night. It was fairly quick to put together once the chopping was done. I think the time to prepare should be changed as it recommended marinading the chicken for several to many hours. Since I don't enjoy sweet things, I took the other reviewers suggestion and left out the brown sugar, I also reduced the hoisin sauce to 1 TBSP vs. 2 TBSP. If I had not done this, it would have been a VERY sweet dish! I did also add a red pepper which made it quite colorful. It is a very pretty looking dish, very colorful, especially with the addition of the red pepper. If you don't mind a sweet sauce, this recipe is lovely. As we prefer something a bit more salty, it was much too sweet for our tastes, even with the reduction in the Hoisin and elimination of the sugar. -
Yummie! Good flavor and sauce texture. Cut chicken 1/2"x2" strips. Double the broccoli and throw in with the mushrooms (recipe cooked too long). Needs to be topped with nuts (cashews or peanuts) and served with soy sauce. -
This was very easy and good. A little on the sweet side. I think the hoisin sauce adds enough sweetness that I would leave out the brown sugar next time. I served it with jasmine rice. Definiely a 30 minute or less meal.
