This is delicious, we love it. Relatively quick. I only wish the chicken would brown up better, maybe I should brown before adding the dressing.

Made this for dinner last night. It is a good dish when you need to make something quick and these ingredients are all in your pantry already. It is not a "wow" dish so it's not something that I would serve to company. I agree with the other reviews- it is a little bit too peanut buttery, so next time I will decrease the peanut butter by half. Also it's not spicy at all so if you like spice, you'll need to add some red pepper flakes to it.

i tried this recipe and found it a little too peanut butterish. next time i might decrease the amount of peanut butter in half or just add more chili sauce. still very tasty.

We loved this recipe! Super Yummy! Easy and much healthier than the take out version.

This was great! We added crushed red pepper flakes and peanuts, and it turned out really well.

Yes, the ingredients do sound odd, and I wasn't sure what to expect, but much to my surprise, it was WONDERFUL! My very picky husband ended up fighting our kids for the last bits of this. They also begged me to make it again, which I will. Pretty easy to make as well.

The sauce for this recipe was gross. The flavors were way off and didn't taste anything like kung pao. I threw all of the sauce away and just ate the chicken.

Wasn't sure what to expect with the ingredients, but it was fabulous! Even my picky teen-agers ate it!
