This was VERY good! Super simple to throw together and went great over some pasta! The flavor reminds me a lot of a sweet and sour type thing. I halved the amount of chicken but made the entire amount of sauce and it was just right for us.... and actually I think next time if I planned on putting it on pasta again I might do 1 1/2 the amount of sauce since it is so good. Dh really enjoyed this as well. Thanks for a great recipe!
