Wow! Delicious and moist. I did not have honey mustard dressing so just added 2 tablespoons of mayonnaise and mustard which curdled- next time I would just put in mustard. There was lots of sauce which maybe could be reduced to half if you did not plan on using--say over rice? Also, when we make this again we will put it in an aluminum foil container-the tin foil approach was pretty flimsy. Thanks Major Woods for posting. Made for My-3-Chefs '08.
