A dear friend shared this colorful stir fry when my four children were small. It quickly won over those picky eaters! To cut down on prep time, I make the rice ahead and often marinate the chicken beforehand.

I thought this Was very good. I added hot sauce and agave and also cooked the chicken in peanut oil instead of canola. This made it very flavorful!

I agree with another reviewer that it was ok, but mild. If I made this again, I would not use the soy sauce and other seasonings, but use a spicy peanut sauce instead.

This was fine,quite mild, but I think I will stick with other recipes that I have made.

I made this with green beans, which I cut in half, instead of broccoli (because I didn't have any on hand) and it tasted great!
