I like to add bamboo chutes and water-chestnuts to this recipe and use olive oil instead of canola, but my family loves this.

First I have to say I wanted to rate this 5 stars, but 4 are highlighted and I can't seem to change it. This recipe is spectacular! It rivals one of my favorite dishes at a local Chinese restaurant... in fact, I think I may like it even better. I omit the celery since I don't usually have it in my fridge and I don't miss it in the recipe. I also use chicken broth instead of the bouillion granules & water... again, just what I have on hand. Also, I dice the onion up instead of cutting it into wedges and I use frozen broccoli florets instead of fresh because I always have a bag of broccoli in my freezer. (I have used both fresh & frozen broccoli and have not been able to tell a difference in taste or texture). Minor changes that don't really affect the taste, just suited to our preferences. I have been making this dish for several years, it is a family favorite for sure! Even my two little picky eaters love this dish!

We enjoyed this recipe but we used green pepper instead of the celery( my family does not like celery ). There was lots of sauce but it could use a little more flavour. I will make this again but this time I will try the chicken broth instead of the granules.

This is good - it's even better if you add the same amount of cornstarch, soy sauce, ginger, and garlic to the water before adding. This gives the vegetables some flavor as well as the chicken and makes a nice thick sauce.

This is the best American made stir-fry. My kids love it, I make it with brown rice cooked in chicken broth. This is a healthy meal we could eat every week. Thank you.

Yumm! The chicken is flavored well but the sauce does turn out a little bland. After we spooned it onto our plates, my family sprinkled it with soy sauce to season it better. But overall it was a hit and I would definitely make this recipe again.

I make this recipe frequently! I omit the celery because I didn't have it when I first made it and liked it without. I also use chicken broth instead of the granules. So easy to make and so tasty!!

No sauce and very bland.

I did add some cornstarch mixed with soysauce in at the last step to help it thicken up.

My family isn't a normally a fan of home-made Asian food, but this recipe was a winner! I added extra chicken and some zucchini and I only added about 3/4 cup of water near the end. This recipe worked out very nicely.

Pretty Good

The last step never happened, never thickened, turned out more like a soup. Add salt and pepper.
