Everyone young and old loved this. Now I’m making double batches, with the college kid always asking for more leftovers!

Yum! I used a really large chicken breast that was large even halved, lol. This was very simple and very tasty. The chicken was perfect - so moist and tender. All of the ingredients complemented each other. Thanks Susan for another great recipe. Made for PAC Fall 2009.
