This was very tasty! I made a little extra marinade to add in at the end because I didn't think it would be enough. I served it over brown rice. I didn't have any sour cream but I don't think it was necessary. Thanks!

So easy and so delicious! Loved the combo with the lime. My sauce was thicker than I thought it would be but was delicious. Thanks for sharing the recipe! Made for Spring PAC 2010

I only used 3 chicken breasts but kept the marinade amounts as given! Also sliced the breasts into fourths so that the marinade would get to more breast surface! Ended up cutting the cooking time down a bit because of that, but the whole thing came together so nicely & was absolutely delicious! Yet another way for me to prepare chicken! Thanks for sharing the recipe! [Made & reviewed as a THANK YOU for completing the Baker's Dozen Special in this fall's round of Pick A Chef]

This tastes like the kind of meal some cheap bachelor would cook and call his "specialty." It's juicy, easy, quick and cheap. However the flavors in this aren't complex, don't really blend at all and is just this side of edible. I expect to find this in a cookbook from the 1950s, the pseudo-fancy name and all.

Yummy - and quite different than the norm! I think next time I may cut back on the dijon mustard a little bit, but this is definitely a repeat recipe!! Made for I Recommend Tag Game.
