This was a very easy recipe to do that had a nice taste. I love all the ingredients used and the addition of the cayenne was a nice touch, I loved the hint of spiciness that came through. I also loved the red onion as opposed to a brow. I cooked the chicken breasts whole and sliced before serving I served it over celeriac mash which it went great with. The thing that stopped this being a five star recipe was I thought the sauce was a little bland, don't get me wrong a very nice sauce, it just needed that little something else. I added a half teaspoon chicken stock granules and 1 teaspoon of dried thyme, a couple other small things and I found this just finished off. A great post and I will be making again.
