Made this chicken for dinner tonight. It was very easy to put together and the cooking time/temp was spot on. It turned out very tender and moist. However, DBF and I just didn't care for it. He wanted to rate it a 2.5 and I thought a 2. The flavor just didn't do it for us and I thought it was a little too....tangy(?)

This is an old Southern Living recipe. Very simple and easy. The sauce is quite tasty. I use bone-in, skinless chicken breasts and the meat is always very tender and flavorful. Glad to see it posted here. Thanks.
