Wonderful, this was absolutely perfect. My orange juice was not sweetend, so along with the lime juice for marinating, the dish was more in the slightly fruity-tart side, which we loved. Thanks for sharing!<br/>Made for CQ 2014

This smelled so good while it was cooking. DH really enjoyed this while I liked it did find it a little too sweet for my taste. The consistency of the sauce perfect not too thin or too thick, yep was defiantly spot on. Next time I will cut the olives in half as there were way too many of those. Thanks for the post.
