Made this for the first time tonight and it was delicious. I was lacking some ingredients, though, so I did some improvising. I used a mix if frozen broccoli and peas, chopped cabbage, julienne carrots, and green onions for the veggies. I doubled the sauce and even then felt the dish could have used a little more moisture, so I recommend thinning it out a bit. But overall I really liked it, and so did my family - even my boyfriend who is pretty picky when it comes to new foods!

Flavor was great but I would double the sauce next time. I used rice noodles which I would were more appropriate than regular egg noodles.

My husband enjoyed this dish, I thought the peanut butter was a bit strong. I would suggest toning down the flavor a little by adding 1 tablespoon cider vinegar and 1 tablespoon brown sugar. and using 1/2 cup water instead of 1/4 to thin out the sauce a little. I also used some Japanese soba noodles that I had on hand and they were GREAT in it.

This was sooo good! My family loved it. Very easy and makes great left overs if there are any. The recipe in the Pillsbury cook book suggests using firm or extra firm tofu instead of chicken which sounds good too.
