This was a lovely dish! I made a big batch of pepper jelly last year and was looking for recipes other then over cream cheese when I came across this one. The chicken was tender, the glaze was absolutely divine! I served it with parmesan polenta, sauteed mushrooms and cherry tomatoes. This is a keeper! Thank you, WiGal for helping me use up my pepper jelly!.
