Hoisin Chicken
"Here at our local warehouse store they sell chicken breast halves in a large bag. I can take out however many I need and fix this recipe without even having to thaw them out. It is a terrific time saver. If you have fresh chicken, just start at the point where you spread hoisin mixture on chicken and enjoy!"

When I started preparing this recipe, I realized that the apricot jam that I thought I had in the refrigerator had vanished! All I had was grape jelly and marmalade... so I opted to use the marmalade (because it was the right color!) The chicken was delicious! Next time I'll try it with Apricot and see which we like better. I'll definitely make this again! -
I make the chicken part, but didn't use the cilantro/lemon/onion topping. I'll try that another day. The chicken was tasty and tender, and went well with a light green salad and teriyaki hiyamugi noodles. -
I could'nt belive how delicous, easy and healthy this meal is for you. I added some ginger to the cilantro mixture just because I had some I needed to use- which added a nice taste. I used Recipe #312992 to make the hoisin sauce. and it came out very very good. My husband told me I had to make this again, and I know I will. -
I made this using Morning Star Farms vegetarian chicken strips. I added a tablespoon of olive oil to the chicken while I let it thaw, and it worked out perfectly. The mixture of flavors was great, we will definitely have this again!

I live in the San Francisco area and love it here. I discovered Recipezaar (then Food.com..Genius Kitchen) in 2001 and have been so happy to have my favorite recipes stored safely here. I am mother to 7 and grandmother to 7.
I love to knit, smock, sew, etc., but my favorite hobby of the moment is traditional rug hooking. This is a sample of what I do.? It's called "November".? I dyed most of the wool myself. It is made from wool flannel, cut into strips a little less than 1/4" and then worked into a linen backing. This is my 3rd rug.
