Fabulous!!! Yum! Yum! Yum! When I originally saw the recipe, it sounded great. I told my husband about it, but he was less than thrilled because amaretto is not his favorite. Well I made it anyway the other night. And his response was, "This is really, really good". It was SO tasty. As my husband said, it's kind of like eating candied chicken. The flavor is like no other. I did as icecreambears did and uncovered the last 10 mins of cooking to let the sauce thicken. I also didn't have orange juice concentrate, so just used regular orange juice and it was fabulous. Thanks Kittencal! Every recipe that I've made of yours has been outstanding. I'm certainly a fan.

Excellent chicken recipe. I uncovered the chicken and baked for an additioal 10 minutes. The sauce became thick and bubbly. Chicken was mouthwatering. I also only used 2 chicken breast but kept the sauce the same. Next time I will reduce the orange juice concentrate to 1/4 cup and increase amaretto to a full cup. The orange taste was stronger than the amaretto taste. Nothing wrong with that, just personal preference. Thank you Kittencal, your recipes are great!
