This dish is a bit spicy, but I love it that way. If you don't like spicy food, you can reduce the amount of chili sauce.

I'm not a big fan of water chestnuts, but they actually worked really well in this dish.

This recipe was a disaster! The chicken was tough and the sauce was bland. I would not recommend this recipe to anyone.

The sauce was a bit too sweet for my taste, but overall this was a good dish. I would make it again with a different sauce.

This dish is a great way to use up leftover chicken. It's also a good option for a quick and easy weeknight meal.

I've tried many La Choy recipes, and this one is by far my favorite. It's easy to make and always turns out delicious.

This dish was a hit with my family! The chicken was tender and flavorful, and the water chestnuts added a nice crunch. I will definitely be making this again.
