Very, very nice chicken dish ~ So satisfying & we really liked the cherry sauce! As another reviewer said, there' s a lot of sauce, but then we thoroughly enjoyed it & topped a side of rice-&-peas with it! Thanks for sharing this wonderful keeper recipe!

I baked the chicken 10 minutes, turned/added cherries & baked another 15 since my chicken breasts were small. Perhaps if you have large chicken breasts, you would need the full time. The sauce is spectacular but wow is there a LOT of it!! I saved over half to use on pork chops later in the week - they were tasty, too! ;) This is a very delicious recipe. THE PICKY ONE who 'hates' fruit had 2nds!! I don't think the crepes added much, though. Mom wants to use it in her Heartwise Cardiac Rehab Cookbook. :) Reviewed for RSC#12. Best of luck in the contest!

i loved the combination of honey, lime, ginger, soy and cherry! I made this because i like recipes which dare to be different. The crepes felt strange first but i will make it again and it will be even better but i will use shredded chicken instead of breasts and i will skip the spenda, it was quite too sweet.
