nice marinade, it is more of a paste vs sauce consistency. We enjoyed on boneless, skinless, grilled chicken breasts.

This is an excellent low fat very tasty dish. I used 2 chicken skinless fillets that were quite large and marinaded them for about 2-1/2hours. I cooked them in an easycook machine for 12 minutes and they were perfect. Thanks dale.
