This was a nice, easy recipe. I prepared it on the weekend using thigh fillets & froze, thawed it overnight in the refrigerator & cooked tonight when I got home. Served with rice. I found the sauce very thin, but the taste was lovely. Will definitely make this again. Thanks for sharing this keeper.

Very nice recipe. We had this tonight for dinner. I followed the recipe as directed and froze. I thawed the chicken overnight and baked for about 30 minutes (boneless). It was not spicy and I will likely make it again.

We found this recipe to be pretty good, but will probably not make it again. I don't think there's anything necessarily wrong with the recipe, just a matter of taste. We froze two dinner's worth of this dish. The first night we cooked it in the oven. My husband liked it that night, I found it just o.k., but we both thought that reheated leftovers the next day tasted sort of off. The second time we made it in the crock pot and it was better, but leftovers still not so great. We store leftovers appropriately and ate them promptly, it just had a different flavor the next day. I can't put my finger on just what isn't tasting right. This dish was easy to put together, though, and froze nicely.

This was amazing! No surprise really being that it's a Tish recipe! The smell of the house while this is cooking sold us WAY before we tasted it! This is now a constant frozen, ready to go dinner, always in my freezer!
