O.K., you know the peanut chicken you get in Chinese restaurants that is soooo delicious. This tastes almost exactly like it!! It is wonderful. I made peas, but didn't add them, because my kids don't like them. However, my husband and I did add the peas and we loved it! Thanks for posting.

Quick, tasty, and very flexible. I have now tried this as written as well as with leftover chicken, and with different veggies (whatever was on hand). It has always been good. Reheats fairly well, too, for my office lunch the next day.

My family loved this recipe. I actually doubled the red pepper flakes because we like it spicy. So easy with ingredients we always have on hand... and so good! This is definitley a keeper
