Awesome!

What a wonderful and quick meal! I served it with rice and asparagus and my family LOVED it! The flavors are mild but go so nicely together.

Great!

This was the first recipe I've used and it was great. I even added bamboo shoots and water chestnuts. I loved the spicy flavor.

Thai Chicken

This was my first recipe from this website, and I'm begining to dabble my fingers into cooking. Making this dish was fun,easy,and very good for a beginner like myself. I cooked the chicken into strips like it said, but next time I will cut cubed pieces, and wish it had a bit more of a glaze but it's deliscious with rice.Also good w/ lettuce and bits of cucumber inside a wrap. Mmm. Enjoy!

Delicious Meal

Last night I came home to a divine aroma. When I rounded the corner to the kitchen my wife had the Thai Chicken presented wonderfully, but, more importantly it tastes great. I would reccomend this to everyone.

A very happy girlfriend!

I asked my boyfriend to make me dinner from any of the recipes on this website in an effort to eat healthier. This is (so far) my favourite one he's made! It's spicy (which I love), flavourful, but not too heavy.
