Wild Rice And Asparagus Chicken Breasts Reviews
DELICIOUS = )I took the advice of other reviewers, and added a touch of seasame seed oil, minced fresh ginger and garlic. My husband practically licked his plate
This was a great recipe Nice and quick and easy. Clear instructions and it tasted great. I made it two times in one week already. Really nice. I used string beans and asparagus one time and string beans and carrots the next. Also, I substituted honey for the sugar - turned out great.
WOW Another fantastic recipe from this site I followed the suggestions of several reviewers and added carrots and baby corn. I also served it over jasmine rice. It was a big hit with all 3 of us, including our 19 month old daughter, who is a very picky eater. I will not only add this to my regular recipe rotation, but will share it with my family and friends.
Awesome recipe, really easy too. Next time I will add water chestnuts and babycorn even though it is terrific as it is.
It all started when i bought a jar of hoisin sauce for one meal and had about 3/4 of a jar leftover. so i did an ingredient search on here and it led me to this recipe. a really excellent, flavourful and light meal i really enjoyed the wild rice instead of tradtional basmati rice. i also think that adding some yellow and red peppers would make it even nicer. ill definitely make this again
MMMM good I did make a few changes. I added a little soy sauce, white wine, minced ginger, and garlic to the sauce. I also added a drained can of water chestnuts. Served over jasmine rice and it was GOOD
I didnt have peanut oil so I used sesame oil instead and added 1 tsp of peanut butter to the sauce. Also, I used broccoli instead of asparagus. My 2 yr old LOVED it and even my picky 8 yr old said it was good and he doesnt like anything I make. I have also made this with salmon (I just used a pouch)and the kids still thought it was chicken. I will make again
This recipe was awesome I doubled the chicken and the sauce and used vegetable oil instead of the peanut oil and basmati rice instead of the wild rice as I didnt have those ingredients on hand. My husband and I really enjoyed it and will definitely make it again.
This was delicious I added broccoli and red bell pepper to it, so had to double the sauce. I also used frozen asparagus (which I defrosted) and used less peanut oil. We served it with the wild rice as written and it was good and very healthy.
I only give this recipe 4 stars because I did make a few changes. I used sesame oil instead of peanut as others recommend. At whole foods I found a spicy sesame oil that was wonderful. The hoison sauce I had was a little sweeter than I expected (this was my first experience using it). Since we like food very spicy I also added red pepper to fire it up a bit more. I also made it with snow peas and carrots. It was delicious. Cooking the chicken in the hot sesame oil after seasoning with some salt, pepper, and garlic was great
Very simple and great tasting dish. I added red bell pepper and green onions. Would be an easy dish to customize any way you like.
I just made this tonight for dinner and its delicious I will definately be making this again. I have never cooked with hoisin sauce but it is wonderful. Its a little on the sweet side so I might use a tad bit less brown sugar next time, but it is definately on the permanent menu. Thanks for the recipe
I made homemade hoisin sauce for this recipe, and it turned out great I also served it with chopped peanuts on top.
Felt like I was at a Chinese restaurant Wonderful sauce - I doubled it and used 3/4 pound chicken tenders. So easy and tasty. I served with white rice.
This was really good. I used 2 breasts and 2 thighs and 1 pound of asparagus with about a tablespoon of minced garlic. I served it over leftover white rice, and it went over well with my husband and two teenagers. I tripled the hoisin sauce and brown sugar to have enough sauce for added chicken/asparagus. I also used olive oil for sauteeing, and added 1 teaspoon smooth peanut butter to sauce to make up for not using peanut oil. Will definitely make this again, maybe experimenting with beef and/or another vegetable. Thanks for the recipe.
Very easy to make and extremely tasty. I am partial to brown rice (the 50 minute version) and used that. I also added sliced garlic with the asparagus. That helps to infuse garlic into the oil (which I didnt have peanut oil so I used 3 T of veg oil and 1 T sesame oil.) The final dish was absolutely delicious. A keeper in our recipe box.
I have used this recipes many, many times. I now only eat my asparagus stir-fryed Broccoli can be substituted as can brown rice for asparagus and the wild rice, respectively. This is also great with the addition of Sriracha Hot Chili Sauce.
This is a really tasty dish I also added summer squash (yellow zucchini), round onion, and red bell pepper. I doubled the sauce and served it with jasmine rice. My husband and I both agree that this ones a keeper
I used strips of sirloin steak instead of chicken and added 3Tbs creamy pnut butter to the sauce and this turned out great
Really quick, easy, and tasty. A great alternative to run-of-the-mill stir fry.
Very, very good. I made some changes: first (and I recommend this highly) I marinated the raw chicken slices in egg white (to tenderize), soy sauce, cornstarch and a little sesamae oil. This makes the chicken tender and delicious. secondly I used lots of onions, some scallions in long pieces and sugar snap peas as my veggies. Then thirdly, I served it over jasmine rice cooked with fresh garlic. It was a huge family hit. This dish will make a regular appearance on our dinner table. Thank you Geezer
This was tasty and very easy. I would agree w/ the extra ginger and garlic and perhaps only 1/2 tbsp or less of brown sugar
Very delicious
This recipe was great. I cooked the chicken first then threw the asparagus in rather than cooking the asparagus separate. I also added chopped garlic, soy sauce, and hot sauce to the sauce. I would definitely double the sauce to give the rice a little more flavor. Im not wild about water chestnuts, but the asparagus had the same crunchy texture with that yummy asparagus flavor. Ive made a lot of asian recipes, but this one is one of my favorites. I definitely recommend it.
YUM I didnt have any hoisin sauce but as other reviewer did, I did it homemade, 4 Tbs Soy sauce, 2 Tbs peanut butter, 1 Tbs molasses or honey, 2 tsp of rice vinegar, 1/2 tsp of garlic powder, 2 tsp of sesame seed oil, 1 tsp Chinese hot sauce (to taste), 1/4 tsp black pepper. Mix everything in a small bowl until well blended and let it rest while you cook everything else. It was great This is definitely a recipe to keep :)
Anything with hoisin is always delicious. I found the 1 chicken breast for 2 servings to be on the skimpy side, so instead I used 5-6 chicken breasts, at least a dozen asparagus stalks, and eyeballed the amount of hoisin when it was time to add. I must have added too much brown sugar, as it was a little too sweet. I made my preferred steamed rice instead of wild rice. Fast and easy, definitely a keeper And dont throw out the "tough bottoms"...I did but found even the bottom of the stalks stir-fried well and remained delicately crunchy.
Delicious I didnt have any hoison sauce so I substituted with oyster sauce. I added some garlic, soy sauce and a dash of white wine like one reviewer suggested. I also added bell peppers with the asparagus. I served it over brown rice. Absolutely delicious
This was delicious. Didnt have peanut oil so I just used olive oil but it still tasted fantastic. I will certainly make this again.
Simple and delicious. I used plain old olive oil in lieu of peanut, and the tip regarding throwing out the tough bottoms of the asparagus was very helpful.
Made exactly as written. This dish is bland. boring and barely edible. My son and I both threw it out after a few bites. One of the very few times I have been let down by the ratings on this site.
My intention was to make the recipe exactly as is, but it didnt turn out that way. I used the recipe as a guide and made a lot of changes. I added a red pepper, water chestnuts, and baby corn. The grocery didnt have hiosin sauce so I just added just brown sugar, pepper and soy sauce (nearly double what the recipe called for). When the chicken was near done I added cayenne pepper for some spiciness. Turned out fabulous Next time I think I am going to add peanuts for a bit of crunch, but the right vegetables make the dish stand out
We liked this but I dont love the flavor of Hoisin sauce which is why I only gave it 4 stars. It may depend on the brand however. I did add a little ginger and garlic while cooking. Also added fresh red pepper in with the asparagus.
I loved it It is so simple and really delicious. I used regular long grain rice because my husband doesnt like wild rice and it was a huge hit with him. My two girls liked the sweet taste but not the asparagus. This would work well with broccoli also. Will make again
I made this last night and it was just delicious. The rice took about 1 hour to cook, otherwise the recipe was very easy, and oh so flavorful I would make this again, and again.
I made a few changes to this dish to use items I had on hand... I replaced the peanut oil with 1/4 cup PB, but we all agreed it made the sauce too thick. We liked the PB in the sauce so Ill just reduce the amount next time. I added a 1/4 to 1/2 tsp powdered ginger to the sauce which gave it a nice flavor, and also cut down on the sweetness a little. I added mushrooms, but didnt like those in this dish. Lastly, I dont have a wok so I used my big, tall-sided frying pan.
Made like recipe, except no hosin..but very good
Good recipe for a quick meal Doubled it and served with fresh white rice I substituted sesame oil for peanut oil and it came out tasting great
This was DELICIOUS. A tad sweet, so next time I will decrease the brown sugar to maybe 1/2 T instead of a whole but overall it was very tasty. Im rating 4 stars because of the sweetness, and because I added extra veggies which made it MUCH tastier. I think as is, the recipe needs more to it to earn 5. If you add other veggies and cut down the sugar, easily 5 stars. I will use this sauce for other stir fry recipes as well.
I used broccoli instead of asparagus because its what i had on hand. the steps are great and the finished product is beautiful and almost perfect... but WAY too sweet for me... and I love sweet Ive made it a couple of times now and plan to omit the brown sugar completely in the future.Very easy to make. Works well with vegetables only as well, if you dont have or want chicken.
We thought this was very good. Also took the advice of several reviewers and served it with jasmine rice. Added a great touch to the meal. I also added a few slice mushrooms to the asparagus while it stir-fried. Great recipe
This is one of my all time favorite recipes. Its fast, easy, healthy, and my whole family loved it. I also added cashews (thanks for the idea) since I already had some, and it made the recipe a bit more gourmet.
Great flavor. Only change I would make would be to use steamed rice. Addition of garlic and red pepper flakes also enhances flavor.
This meal was yummy I added cashews to the recipe, which complimented the flavor really well.
Delicious This recipe pleased the taste buds of my entire family, including my super picky 6 year old son, and this is no easy task Not only tasty, but lovely, too
Pleasantly surprised...didnt think sauce would be enough to carry the full meal. The sauce is super sweet and too much would be a disaster. The Wild rice was not my favorite, but it did help cut the sweetness.
Very good I didnt use 3/4 cup of oil. I only used 2 tablespoons for the asparagus, and 1 tablespoon for the chicken (which i boiled prior and cubed.) Also added a bit of onion powder and garlic powder. Very good. will make again. **UPDATE** Made it again... used sesame oil instead of peanut oil. Added a spoon of peanut butter. Added 1/4 cut of soy and tsp of minced garlic. I think next time i might use honey instead of sugar. Sweet but not too sweet Yummy
Great recipe, very simple and yummy.
Fast and easy. My family loved it. I didnt care much for the wild rice, but the rest was delicious. I think Ill substitute our usual rice (brown rice or long grain with wild rice) for the wild rice next time.
Delicious. I couldnt find hoisin sauce at my store, but I did have a Thai sweet and spicy sauce so I used that instead. Also dropped the brown sugar as the sauce was very sweet to begin with. Funny that the picture has carrots, but the recipe doesnt call for them... Will be making again soon - especially with asparagus season weeks away.
Great recipe I did make a few changes though. I used sesame oil (its what I had in the house) instead of peanut oil and added peanut butter to the sauce as one reviewer recommended. I also added minced garlic and ginger. Wow I will definitely be making this again.
My husband and I love this quick yummy meal I boil my chicken breast and shred, then add to the asparagus and sauce mix and serve over whatever rice I have on hand. You cant beat how fast this comes together Ive made it with frozen sugar snap peas too and its just as good.
My husband and I loved this. I had one leftover fresh chicken breast that needed to be used up. I pounded it thin and then cut into bite-sized pieces. Didnt bother with the rice. Added some fresh ground black pepper and minced garlic. Also, used olive oil instead of peanut because I didnt have any. This was so quick and easy to prepare. Will make this again.
I added a yellow bell pepper. This was simple, quick, and easy. A true weeknight dinner.
Excellent Very simple but very tasty. I to modified it some, but not a lot. I used honey instead of brown sugar, and added water chestnuts and bamboo shoots, which resulted in me having to make a little more of the Hoisin sauce mixture. For even faster prep I used bottled minced garlic and ginger to flavor the oil.
Sooo good Only added garlic because of family preference. Everyone loved it
Used 2 chicken breast and substituted asparagus with other vegetables on hand. Omitted the brown sugar and added bit more hoisin but too sweet for my palette. Also added tsp of soy sauce and bit of sherry wine, garlic, ginger. Next time Ill try decreasing hoisin and adding little more soy sauce.
Thank you so much for a WONDERFUL recipe My husband has NEVER liked asparagus and he LOVED it I served over Jasmine rice...serves beautifully Funny, the utility man had stopped by as I was making dinner and even remarked how this meal looked and smelled, "looks like a restaraunt in here, as a matter of fact better" Anyway, just wonderful Thank you
Delicious My family raved about this, (even tho my 5 year old picked out the asparagus), and my hubby said that it would put our favorite Chinese food restaurant out of business.Give this a try, you wont be disappointed
I enjoyed this recipe. Like some of the other reviewers I added red pepper in with the aparagus, made for a very pretty presentation. I cut back on the oil, making it more diet friendly, and used only 1 TBSP. Worked out fine, didnt stick at all with non-stick pan. Will more than likely make this again. 13 year old son gave it an ok, but he only gets excited for hot dogs, he did eat some of the asparagus though and that was a first
I added about a tbsp of chili and garlic sauce to perk it up a bit. it was okay.
I have been looking for a recipe to really "wow" my boyfriend, and this was it One chicken breast and a 1/2 lb of asparagus was the perfect amount for the two of us. I will definitely be making this again
This was enjoyed by my whole family- picky kiddos included Its very quick, easy, and delicious Its versatile enough to add just about anything you want to this, and it would still be great Thanks for sharing
I enjoyed this recipe. i had some hoisin sauce that i wanted to use so this was perfect. be careful though because hoisin sauce by itself is sweet, so this recipe has a sweet twang to it. really good. everyone loved it. probably would make it again
Thanks for the easy, delicious recipe I reduced the oil and sugar by half and it turned out great
Easy and yummy I cooked just as the recipe says and turned out great. My 4 year old son is super picky eater and wont usually eat chicken or meat. Well, today he finished it all, first time in his life he ate all the chicken pieces that was served to him
This dish was great. My family truly enjoyed it .. instead of peanut oil I used canola oil because it is what I had on hand .. doubled the recipe .. will make again
Very good and easy and fast
Ok, so maybe I tweaked this so much it needs to go in another recipe but I have to give credit to VISTACO for the inspiration. I used rotisserie chicken (approx 2 cups). Steamed the asparagus before adding. Didnt use peanut oil since son is allergic to peanuts. Added 1/2 t sesame oil, 1 t ginger and 1 t minced garlic. Stir fried until heated through and the flavors blended. Served over wild rice. Loved it
This was okay... it kind of started to taste better the more we ate it. We thought it was missing something and after adding a little bit of soy sauce, thought it improved. Served it with steamed white rice.
Very yummy. Ill probably add more asparagus next time though.
Delicious
I made this recipe last night for dinner and it was great. Perfect for 2 people. The only change I made was olive oil for peanut oil. Next time I will add in more veggies. Definitely will keep it in my dinner rotation
This was an okay recipe. I didnt find it very interesting. It didnt have any dimension to it. I also found it too sweet, but its an okay weekday meal. I just wasnt wowed.
Very easy and yummy The second time I made it I followed other suggestions to add garlic and ginger. It was wonderful Thanks for sharing
Very easy, very delicious I serve it with Jasmine rice. Thank you Geezer for a great recipe.
Quick, easy and delicious Any vegetable would do, but the asparagus worked great.
Really good Will add some garlic next time, and maybe some other veggies.
Excellent quick dish. Like another reviewer, I too made my own hoisin sauce - about 1/2 cup and it was just the right amount of sauce. Didnt add anything else as it contained peanut butter, sesame oil and soy sauce and honey which gave plenty of sweet, salty sauce. Added a can of baby corn but could have used peppers, brocc, carrots... next time
Needs lemon jest, more lemon, and more spice, even a little heat, but all in all, this is a very good start
Very easy recipe. I added carrots and it was great
This is a great recipe. One of our favorites, that we make regularly. Its so quick its a perfect make after work meal
Ill have it every once in a while.
I love the flavor of this dish. I make it once a month
4.5 stars...yummmmm
I gave this 5 stars because it was so easy and a very good stir fry...it really shows you how easy and versatile that stir fry is to do. You can definitely make this with half the oil..without a problem. Any added veggies you want to throw in for taste or color will add to the dish. I do suggest doing the long grain or brown rice or something that goes well with stir fry as opposed to the wild rice.Yummy
This is a good recipe that my picky eaters even liked. I left out the brown sugar to cut some of the carbs and may even cut the rice next time. Its one of those recipes that you can easily experiment with.
Only thing I added was baby corn. Cant wait to try this dish with shrimp
Nice very fast and easy .
This was so fast and really good. As others mentioned, I added garlic and ginger. I used honey instead of brown sugar as someone else mentioned. And I subbed vegetable and sesame oil (peanut allergy).
Very nice
Simple and tasty. Great for during the week
This recipe is idiot-proof Im not that great at stir-frying but I whipped this up and it was delicious. It was so easy/tasty that I made it 2 nights in a row. The second time I made it I changed the recipe a bit - I cut the asparagus lengthwise and chopped into peanut-sized pieces, and also chopped the chicken smaller. I added finely chopped orange peppers, 2 tsp soy sauce and some cayenne pepper, and it was perfect. My boyfriend loved it. A very simple yet satisfying recipe.
This was very good.
I really did not like this recipe, but my husband loved it. It was too bland but very easy.
So easy and so good. Kind of sweet though. Ill leave out the brown sugar next time. Also, most of us added wasabi or sriracha, so I will add a sprinkle or two of red pepper flakes.
Used brown rice because I did not want to purchase more rice. Very tasty, my 6 year old daughter even would eat it.
Didnt have peanut oil. Used sesame oil instead. A hit with everyone in our 5 person family.
This was terrible. I think it was the hoisin sauce that doomed the flavor.
So easy and so good. Kind of sweet though. Ill leave out the brown sugar next time. Also, most of us added wasabi or sriracha, so I will add a sprinkle or two of red pepper flakes.
