Judging by the ingredients, thought I'd hate this, but it actually was excellent. Malt vinegar made all the difference.

My husband and I love this recipe, I make it with brown rice and use the cooked peaches as garnish. Easy to make after a long busy day.

Excellent flavor, very tender, I would NOT add the cornstarch and water. Sauce was thick just from cooking....I will definitely make it again.

Four of us were having lunch at a restaurant, and noticed this recipe on the bottle of malt vinegar. A week later I made this recipe for the four of us, and we all liked it! I did not cut the chicken breasts---and found them to be moist and nicely flavored. The sauce was a bit too thick. Next time I would use less cornstarch.

8/8/2012 Tried this recipe thinking it would be a peachy sweet & sour type of dish. We found it to be WAY too sweet for our tastes. If I tried it again, I'd leave out the juice from the peaches & the brown sugar. I'd up the vinegar a little & add soy sauce.
