PAC Fall 2007 - I'm sorry Kelly, but we really weren't too crazy about this. The chicken was quite tender, but for some reason, seemed dry. My DH said it seemed like there were too many flavors fighting one another and the combination just didn't work. The sauce also seemed to have a dry grainy texture to it. I didn't serve it over rice, but maybe that would have made a difference. However, even though we didn't like the flavor, we thought it looked really good! ;)
