Very nice flavor, and I usually don't like fruit with meat. My biggest challenge was flattening the chicken breasts to a uniform thickness. Despite my efforts, there remained a disparity. I used a meat thermometer to determine doneness and kept cooked breasts warm in the oven. We had some sauce left over, which DH plans to use on pancakes. Made for Please Review My Recipe tag.
