GOOD SAUCE! although I changed it slightly to accomadate what I had in the house. I didn't have red pepper flakes, so I used cayenne, about 1/4 tsp. ( I have toddlers eating with us Added a TBSP of teryaki sauce and 1 TBSP of rice wine vinegar. I also didn't add the ginger, since mine had mold on it. :( I used fresh broccoli and a frozen mix of stir fry veggies. Served on top of rice. With egg rolls on the side. VERY YUMMY!! (Also marinated my chicken with soy sauce, teryaki and salt and pepper for about 1 hour. Toddlers, Hubby and I all finished our plates! I will definately make again.

I'm surprised that so many people have given this recipe a bad review. I just made it tonight for my husband and I and our 2 guests and everyone loved it! I didn't have bok choy or baby corn, but I had everything else on hand and even added about 2 tbsp of brown sugar while it was simmering. One of the better stir fry's I've had and I will definitely make it again! :

I cook often and make better-than-average dishes. I wish I would have had a bit more time to fully review the technique on making this dish. By the time your veggies had a bit of time to cook - the chicken has now become overly cooked. The 1 tablespoon of cornstarch is not sufficient to make the sauce thick enough for it to stick to its contents. The flavor is also very bland. After arguing with my husband on how to salvage this dish at 9pm at night, after the baby fell asleep - it became clear this recipe will not be used again. I use foodnetwork's recipes very often and really disappointed in this one. I guess that's life.

It is a little bland but like any other recipe, you can always add/substitute ingredients for what you like. This one really needs some chiles or med. to hot peppers. Just a small amount would really bring out the flavor. To really make this work skip the powdered spices and use whole fresh crushed garlic and lots of fresh grated ginger. Fry the veggies individually, remove and keep warm in an oven then mix together as a final step before serving. Try mandarine orange sections cooked with the chicken and use noodles in place of rice..

This recipe is OK. Technique directions are good. Flavors are pretty bland. Marinating the chicken breast is not required. I made this once following the directions. The second time I doubled all the spices, including a sprinkling of salt to taste at the very end, which made it very good for our tastes. We wanted a pop of orange flavor so I reduced two cups of OJ and three thick slices of ginger down to one cup; took the ginger pieces out and used reduced OJ as directed. Dried orange or tangerine peel and a dried red pepper helps the sauce.

I tried this recipe on an evening that I had no dinner planned. I used bonless chicken thighs, mushrooms, onion, and broccoli, no other veggies.
I think water chestmuts would be good as well as celery. I cooked the chicken with minced garlic and would season the chicken with salt and pepper as it is cooking. The orange sauce is a nice seasoning. I would definately make this again.
