Wow, Kccy this is the best chicken, I have made it twice now. The last time I served it to company. They LOVED it and commented on what a gourmet dish. It is very easy to make and can be made ahead and and baked. Thank you for a great easy to make recipe. This went into my recipe book.

This was an enjoyable dish. It served up with a nice presentation and seemed like an extra special meal. The sauce was a little too sweet and a little too mu tardy for my tastes; I would have cut back on the mustard, honey and corn syrup by half.
