Very tasty. I slightly browned the chicken in a pan first (not cooked all the way through), cut it up into strips and put it in the crock pot with the sauce. (I did double the amount of sauce as it just didn't seem like enough). The chicken was very moist and the hour in the crock pot allowed the sauce to really "soak in". Served with white rice and broccoli. I'd like to try the sauce with beef sometime as well.

I have made this 3 times now with my husband. We use only 1 tablespoon of brown sugar instead of 3tablespoons. Also we do a double the recipe when we cook 2 chicken breasts. The grocery stores here in SC have a stew beef that is diced up the size of diced carrots and we use 2 packages close to a pound each (we like leftovers) and a double recipe is not enough sauce but we think a triple recipe is too much.
