  this was ok - good way of stretching out chicken breast. only problem was the sauce just wasn't quite right - definitely needs a bit of tweaking.

  Great taste - maybe sauce needs to be more runny? Loved it and will eat it again. Replaced chicken with tofu for vegan son - he liked it too :-)

  There wasn't anything wrong with it but it was just 'ok'. Nothing special really, a healthy mid week dinner though.

  A teaspoon of grated ginger and one crushed clove of garlic makes all the difference.

  I haven't tried this but used to make something similar but with ginger and garlic as suggested above and soy sauce instead of vinegar. Also it was much better with fresh pineapple rather than canned.

  I threw the pineapple chunks in at the end. I used some crushed chilli in the sauce instead of the fresh, and some garlic and ginger. Everyone enjoyed it.

  Nice enough dish but I agree with above it is lacking something - a good punch of ginger might do it, i added a clove of garlic but maybe 2 might be better. I did enjoy all the veg and really good way to make some chicken go further. I also chucked the pinapple in at the end

  Quite enjoyable dish, although as some people said above - it's missing 'a kick'. Great combination of veggies but you have to experiment more with spices. And I had to add some more water, as suggested 300mL of sweet&sour sauce was not enough
