Montana Chicken

Submitted by OhSusannah

"The basis for this recipe was one I got from The Montana Cookbook, which I purchased umpteen years ago when we visited Glacier National Park. I've definitely tweeked it a bit over the years to get exactly the flavor I wanted. We've always just refered to it as "montana chicken". It's sweet and tart and goes well with brown rice and stir-fried broccoli."
