Delicious! I used chicken breast tenders zucchini and yellow peppers and it turned out great! I don't like water chestnuts so I skipped that. Instead of apricot I went with 2.5 Tbsp of homemade fig preserves and used 1.75 cups of beef broth. Otherwise I followed the recipe. It needed a bit of heat so I drizzled a little Gochujang (red pepper paste). Very satisfying dish! Will definitely make again. Pros: Nice consistency Cons: Made a couple of substitutions
A Little Too Sweet I was excited to find this recipe because I am prone to cravings for standard Asian food but would love to eat it in a more healthy fashion. Next time I will prep everything ahead to make it simpler to just cook as I go. I liked the method for cooking the veggies in flavored broth for 4-6 minutes. I do think the sauce is too sweet with the two tbsp of apricot preserves; next time I will reduce the amount or find a less sweetened brand. Pros: Easy straightforward and healthy Cons: Sauce thicker and sweeter than expected
All that oil is not necessary I used Pam instead of adding all that oil to cook. That cut the fat in this recipe in half. I am going to add pineapple next time. Pros: tastes good Cons: Like some others I think pineapple would give it a little extra
This turned out great for me! I'm not sure who said the sauce didn't thicken or them but mine was a little too thick so I added a little more chicken broth. My husband said he would have liked it a little more saucy but I thought it was just right. I used a frozen pepper and onion mix along with some snow peas. Very good! Pros: Tasty and easy Cons: Needed a bit more sauce
Needs pineapple Although I did like this dish it wasn't wonderful. I followed the recipe closely. I like the way the veggies were cooked in the broth (I used green pepper white onion carrot and celery). I used Simply Fruit apricot spread which is not as sweet. I may try it again with the pineapple and see if it works. Pros: Fresh foods easy to prepare Cons: Lacks flavor
This was easy and tasty but I thought it could use more flavor. It was a little bit sweet but not at all sour. I will make it again but modify the seasoning amounts. Lori Barkhamsted CT

I used a can of pineapple with the juice and fruit. Pineapple is what is generally in sweet and sour chicken anyway gave the dish a lot more flavor than the apricot preserves. The flavor is still off like the previous commentor said. I think part of the problem is the use of rice vinegar. Generally I have always used something with a higher acidity which I think is needed with the pineapples. Overall this is a heathly version of one of my wife's favorite recipes. Everyone liked it and its quick.
Its was great but less of the pineapple would be better
Not good. Vinegar left it too tangy. Added pineapple but that could not salvage it. Sauce never properly thickened.
I really liked it. I took the advice of adding pineapple as the very last ingredient and letting it warm up a bit. I used frozen stir-fry veggies from Costco. Everything was very good. Sweet and sour. Yum! Even my seven-year-old liked it (and that's pretty good)!
Made this the the letter. The sauce was real tangy like another reviewer said. I did miss the pineapple though. I should have added it. My sauce did thicken rather alot. The only things I would do different if I make this again is to add pineapple and cook the chicken more on the first cook the second cook isn't long enough for the chicken to finish. Thanks for a good alternative to the fatty version.!
