The hoisin sauce was a little strong for me, so I will probably use 2/3 or 1/2 of what is called for. Also, I think I would add a little cornstarch to the sauce to thicken it and make it a little stickier. Overall pretty good, my husband loved it. Will make again soon with the adjustments. Thanks for a good recipe.

After eating this at Applebees I looked for the recipe online and found this version. Everytime I make it I get asked for the recipe. I didnt make any substitutions or changes. Great as it is! You can cook the chicken ahead of time and then add the sauce later so that it doesnt get soggy. The chicken is moist and great even without the sauce.

This is such a wonderful recipe!! Tastes just like Applebee's--I use Tyson Honey Battered Chicken Tenders instead of spending the time to fry the chicken. With using the chicken tenders this is less than a 30 minute meal AND the bonus is that my whole family loves to eat this one!!

This recipe tastes EXACTLY like my favorite meal at Applebees! I add steamed broccoli, cauliflower, and carrots. I also stir in sliced almonds before I serve it over a bed of herb rice. I will keep this recipe forever!

This is such an excellent recipe! We absolutely love it; it's just as good as Applebee's, only you can change the veggies or rice to suit your company. The sauce is simply fabulous! YUMMY!

I loved it! I made it with stir fry veggies and served it over a jasmine wild rice mixture. It tasted just like Applebees. The reason for 4 stars in stead of 5 is because my family hated it (but they also hate applebees version too,) I will make it again and freeze extra portions for me.
