We made this tonight and it was delicious! The only problem we encountered was that the sauce did not really reduce and thicken, but that was not a problem, it was still yummy and the chicken was very moist. Also, I did not put the sauce through a strainer, since I like in chunky - lots of garlic cloves - yum!
