Wonderful!!! The flavors go so well together and it is so simple and quick to throw together. I first made this last month. And it has become a requested dinner EVERY WEEK in our house. We really love the sauce over jasmine rice. I usually serve either brussel sprouts or broccoli with this, and use the sauce as a topping for the veggies. Thanks a million for a new family fave!

Excellent dish. Made it for supper last night just as the recipe states. Next time I will reduce the cayenne just a tad, it was a little hot for my liking, however, RJ didn't even feel the hot, as usual. Recipe was quick, easy and on the table in no time. Will be a keeper for us. Thanks for sharing peachez. Tweeky, a.k.a. Judi

This is not a recipe I will make again. The flavor was too acidic and the sauce never thickened. Maybe something I did wrong??

I thought this dish was absolutely wonderful. However, I had trouble with getting the lemon, lime and orange juice to mix well with the butter sauce and could not get it to thicken at all. I ended up taking the chicken out and stirring the mixture and had to add a little corn starch to thicken it a little. Any suggestions on what I did wrong, because I want to make this again and rate it, but I don't think I will right now. dcmac

Yummy. I made this for Hubby tonight, and he loved it. We served it with asparagus, which goes very well with the flavors in the sauce.
