- This recipe makes awesome chicken. It comes out moist and flavorful. Slightly sweet from the maple syrup and slightly spicy from the cumin. I make it with Shake and Bake potatoes.
- Delicious. I have made this several times now and it has become a family favourite. The combination of flavours is wonderful - creamy yet still light. So easy to prepare too.

After a Walt Disney World trip in Dec 2006 where I had to rent an electric scooter because I couldn't manage the walking, I decided to have gastric bypass surgery, which was done Feb 28, 2007. I lost 160 lbs (though I've gained back about 60 of that since). I can't eat as much as I used to, so I want every bite to be extra good!
