i think the above poster doesn't know how to cook. Great recipe, very moist, flavoful! and pretty too. :D (hint above poster, if you marniate the chicken for an hour before baking, then bake slow, it will be moist and juicy)

This was moist and delicious and very flavorful. I made it with my Hawaiian stuffing recipe #163582 and we pretended we were in the tropics. Thank you for the enjoyable dinner.

I can't imagine eating something drier and more tasteless. I was literally stunned when the chicken came out so flavorless; I think that eating baked paper would be preferable. Do yourself a favor: DON'T make this.
