I enjoyed this recipe. It was simple to follow and the results were tasty. The combination of textures was excellent, the sauce was delicious. I would definitely make this again.

This recipe was great! The vegetables were crisp and the sauce had a wonderful balance of sweet and savory. I added a little extra chili flakes for some heat. Only downside was the chicken got a little dry, next time I will try marinating longer.

This recipe is fantastic! The peanut sauce is the star of the show. I made it for a dinner party, and everyone loved it.

The sauce was too thick, and the chicken got overcooked. I followed the recipe exactly, so I'm not sure what went wrong. I'll try again but adjust the cooking time.
