I had this for lunch today and I must agree with everybody else....delicious!! I love how moist the chicken was. I cut the brown sugar down to 1 tsp and everything else made as stated. YUM!

What an awesome dish Jan. We really enjoyed this quick and easy to make chicken. It was so flavorful and tender. I loved that the heat hit the back of your throat after you had eaten it. I couldn't taste the heat at first, then bingo, there it was, perfect simply perfect. A great balance of flavors and nice textures. Thank you so much for sharing your recipe.

Well this really surprised me, the DM just gobbled this up (especially after telling me she wasn't really hungry), the DH wasn't so enamoured but he usually isn't with recipes heavy in tomatoes and for him I cut the onion chunky so he could pick it out due to his intolerance to it if he ingests it though I tried to make sure he didn't get any on his portion. I thoroughly enjoyed the spicy rich taste of the tomatoes. The only other issue I had was mine took 10 extra minutes to cook, my breasts fillets were about 220 grams each but were beautifully moist, thank you Jan, made for Make My Recipe - Summer Edition.
