Easy and delicious. I made 3 breasts but kept the sauce ingredients the same. I let the sauce simmer down to a sticky gooey glaze which stuck to the chicken very well. Served with brown rice. -
Delicious! I halved the recipe. The only thing I would do differently next time is reduce the sauce even more, so it would "stick" to the chicken more. This will be an easy and very attractive company dish. -
This was a great chicken dish i didnt change a thing & served this with a broccoli side, Delish! TY Robin -
