I hate having to poo pah a recipe but I was very disappointed with this one.  Firstly the chicken wrapped itself around the butterfly so I decided to take the thing out completely.  I used 400g chicken strips and reduced everything else accordingly but the machine was struggling to cope so I had to turn the speed up to 1.  As you can see by the photo, the chicken pieces got shredded to bits.  It was quite a dry mixture so I thawed out some soy chicken sauce reduction from another recipe to pour over the top.  The taste was OK, it was the texture and dryness which let it down.  2 photos, 1 without the soy sauce.  If anyone else has tried this recipe I would like to hear from them as it has been a long time since I've made a meal I am not happy with.
