  1. This one will be a bit unusual as I posted a request for Brocolli chicken and the gracious Lady Di (no pun intended) responded with this recipe and suggested I add brocolli. I did and the results were fabulous. No I did not have walnuts so that changes it up a bit (hence the name) but the flavor was excellent. I followed the recipe exactly only I removed the chicken long enough to saute some brocolli crowns for 6 minutes and added back the chicken and incorporated the sauce. The end result was a very velvety chicken with a wonderful sauce. We were really impressed with how tender the chicken was and my dh said it was definitely restaurant quality. Thank you so much Di for the recipe and next time I will add the walnuts (but the brocolli was nice too!
     
  2. Mmmmm Yummmmy!! love the sauce, and the marinade!! the combination of ginger and walnuts was ,wonderfull, lots of taste, and the garlic just sets it off nicely. This one will go in my hard copy. thanks for sharing Di.
     
  3. Yum, this was awesome, the only thing I would do different is add some chili paste to make it spicy. Thanks!
     
  4. This tasted just like what you would eat in a Chinese restaurant! Very nice! The only change I made was to marinate the chicken for 30 min instead of 10 min (at room temp) to make sure the chicken would be tender.
     
  5. Fantastic! I've been looking for this recipe for years, as it's one of my favorites. Relatively easy to make, and just as I remembered it -- in spite of some minor mis-planning on my part. Thank you!
