Love this recipe! It's one I've used for years. I do add some minced garlic to the pan before removing the chicken to make the sauce. I also leave my chicken pieces whole, unless they're very large. You can't go wrong with this recipe.
RECIPE SUBMITTED BY
I've been a strict vegetarian for almost a year, and I'm constantly looking for new ideas for vegetarian/vegan meals and desserts. I'm not technically a vegan, but I don't drink milk or eat eggs due to stomach issues. I typically stay away from dairy-and/or-egg-based foods, but if a recipe contains one or both of them, but it isn't the main focus, then I'll eat it.
I'm also allergic to hot peppers (like jalapenos, habaneros, and chipotles), and am generally sensitive to spiciness, so I'm always looking for recipes with flavor, but without the spice.
