I'm not a big fan of chicken, but this dish was really good. The ginger and green onions gave it a really nice flavor.

This dish is a great way to use up leftover chicken. I used rotisserie chicken and it turned out great.

I'm not sure what went wrong, but my dish didn't turn out anything like the picture. The chicken was tough and the sauce was watery.

I was really excited to try this recipe, but I was disappointed. The chicken was dry and the sauce was bland.

I'm not usually a fan of ginger, but this dish was surprisingly good! The ginger was subtle and didn't overpower the other flavors. The chicken was cooked perfectly and the green onions added a nice touch of freshness.
