  This is absolutely amazing!! Cooked in the wok and it tasted better than any take out we've ever had - we've had it twice this week already!! And its low fat, cheap, and super easy!! Definite winner for us.

  Also made this on the hob, rather than Microwave. Great tasting and quick meal, but will use less sugar next time... it was a bit sweet.

  What a super easy and quick meal to throw together and such a lighter healthier version to take out. I cooked a vegetarian version in the wok with tofu, it turned out a bit too sweet for my liking so next time I will use less sugar, more garlic and a bit of ginger.

  Thought this was delicious. Tasted really fresh and healthy. I was making for 2 people so halved the chicken, pineapple and vegetables but stuck to the quantities for the sauce as i dont like dry dishes. Was yummy!

  This worked so well, fantastic! Did it in the wok too, coated chicken with cornflour and added a bit of ginger and sesame oil. Will definitely become one of our staple dinners.

  Lovely,didn't expect such a good result and the ease of using the microwave made for a really quick,tasty meal. I did use some cornflour to thicken the sauce slightly as I'd used fresh pineapple and juice. Thanks for yet another great recipe.

  Lovely recipe that i adapted slightly. The sauce needs 1 spoon of sugar less, the chicken i coated in seasoned cornflour and fryed (3 batches) until very crispy and then added at the end and dish needs plenty of fresh ginger. I used the wok.

  I made this last week and it was absolutely delicious. Much better than shop bought. Did not make in microwave, used a heavy based frying pan.

  This was really really easy to prepare. I think it could have done with a bit more cooking as the onions and peppers weren't quite done to my liking. But! A brilliantly easy recipe, and tasted just like one of the sauces you can buy. Loved it.
