Hubby ranks it a 5. It was very good. The chicken was, indeed, tender as noted by a previous reviewer. It took a looooong time to reduce sauce, though.

Excellent chicken. Never had kiwi with chicken, and I was pleasant surprised. Made recipe as posted except I left out the salt.. Made for PRMR tag

this was much better than I anticipated. I'll be honest, I wasn't too sure about boiling chicken and ending up with any flavor. Boy was I WRONG! the chicken is moist and tender and the glaze is just enough citrus to go PoP! Great summer meal, it's light and refreshing.

I made this according to the instructions, but added a little something: I put the sliced kiwi on lettuce, shredded the chicken on top of that, added chopped garlic on top of the chicken, then put the (cooled down)fruit sauce on as a dressing. I sprinkled some balsamic vinegar and a little oil on as the last item. It was good!
