Mmm-mmm good! I made this for dinner tonight & it was a hit! I did a few things differently, but nothing that would alter the rating. I diced the chicken into cubes since I didn't have any cutlets, therefore I also diced my onions & chopped my apples. I ended up going ahead & seasoning the flour so I went ahead & added the ginger at that point along with some salt, pepper, garlic, & cayenne. I used olive oil out of preference and did an extra teaspoon. I also had to use apple juice since I didn't have any cider & a bullion cube for the broth. The sauce thickened up perfectly with the cornstarch and I served it with rice & stir-fry veggies. A perfect meal! Also, I'm still double checking this, but with my brands & changes, I calculate these out to 4 points per serving! It probably is more likely to be 5 but that's still great for such a flavorful & filling meal! Thanks Tish!

I live in Las Vegas. I was lucky enough to run into Recipezaar around Nov. 2000 and got hooked quickly. I am a cookbook collector and have been collecting recipes for as long as I can remember. My DH had to build in shelves for all my cookbooks! I like to dabble with OAMC and for a few years hosted the Budget/OAMC forum with some great people over there. Even though I don't work in the forum any longer I've set up a lot of cookbooks for the purpose of OAMC and stretching food that might be helpful. Please feel free to check them out! I go on food jags and cooking jags! Please come say hi to me and chat on facebook. I currently host a blog for saving money through finding deals and coupons if you are interested. Most of the time I try to cook and have a good dinner on the table but I'll be honest enough to say there is still fast food occasionally in the budget! I have had such wonderful support here whenever I need it. Thank you all for being here! Just a quick note on how I rate recipes:
? 5 stars - This recipe is perfect. (My DH is truly a critic and doesn't give 5's unless it's amazing) I would recommend it to others and would definitely make again.
? 4 stars - This recipe was good but I would change something in it next time.
? 3 stars - This is a recipe I would not make again but it was OK
? 2 stars - This recipe I would not make again and we didn't like it at all
? 1 star - This recipes did not work out/taste was unappealing and wouldn't make again
