Mine didn't turn out so well. But to be fair, I did slightly burn it.

Stir-Fried Walnut Chicken is a family favorite. I prepare it every couple of weeks. If the sauce is too thick, I simply add a couple tablespoons of

water or broth.

The chicken was delicious, but the sauce was too thick, more like a gravey. Perhaps cut back on the cornstarch to 1 tablespoon, and thicken a little more if necessary.
