This is DELICIOUS! Very simple to put together and the sauce is amazing. The cider vinegar really gives it a great complexity and the entire thing smells wonderful while cooking. We cooked ours for only around 45 minutes total rather than the 60 and it was done perfectly and the meat was super tender. We used boneless skinless breasts for this since that is the type we normally use. We also only used enough oil in the skillet to brown the chicken rather than the 1/3 cup it called for. Definately a keeper!
