Well, I was skeptical, but I was running late and needed a quick recipe to use up some leftover, already cooked chicken from the night before. I doubled the sauce and used whole wheat noodles because that's what I had. I also added carrots with the onions (regular onions sauteed until soft because I didn't have green) to give us a quick veggie. Wow, was I surprised! We absolutely loved it and it's already on the menu for next week. My husband actually said he thought about it at work the next day. Incredibly simple, fast and delicious. Doesn't get any better than that. Thanks for posting!

I will definitely try this! In the Quick Dinners newsletter, it was billed as "the perfect freezer meal", but I do not see directions about a freezer meal, just a mention of the 'author' making freezer meals with friends. How can this be made into a freezer meal? Is it fully cooked and then frozen? Does it lose anything in the rewarming? Thanks!

I have made this recipe twice now. Everyone in our family loves it and I double it so we can have it for leftover lunches. I didn't find rice noodles at a reasonable price so I used regular linguine or fettuccine noodles.

This was delicious! Some people had to purchase peanut or sesame oil for this one recipe and complained a bit. Now is your chance to look for new recipes that utilize these ingredients. There are many! Happy hunting.

We loved this recipe. I didn't purchase the expensive peanut oil either. I subbed a little bit of peanut butter in its place. I didn't use the cornstarch either. I just left it out. I couldn't find rice noodles and used fettucini in its place. I think it would be great either way it is made.

tastes great but had to add an extra cup of liquid (broth and water) to make a sauce, with that much cornstarch it just turned gelatinous. The chili sauce at the end is a great touch. Substituted wide egg noodles and canola oil

My boyfriend is very picky, goes to authentic ethnic restaurants and said, "This recipe has everything I like!" From my side, it was very easy to make. We both loved the amount of noodles, the oerall taste and the nice touch of hot sauce at the end. This recipe will be a keeper at our house.

I love cashew chicken & this recipe made my love for it even greater because now I can make it as much as I want. This is a great dish. I like my sauce a little thinner so I used water to thin it out to my liking. Thank you so much for sharing. Wonderful!!
