This is a very good and simple chicken recipe! I doubled the sauce and used soy sauce for half of the water, and it came out perfectly. I like that the chicken was not breaded, making it a healthier dish. My whole family gobbled it up!

I am 27 years old and just now learning to cook :)
I have 1 son(4yrs) and 1 daughter(6yrs). I was married to their father for 5 years. He never had any complaints about my cooking but he would eat anything!!!LOL. After his death in 2003 my cooking consisted of only the nearest take-out menu:) Until recently engaged (and living together) did I gain the desire to learn to cook...I have had many compliments, including quite a few coming from my soon-2-B, teenage, stepdaughters!!! Anyhow, I am very open to any pointers, ideas etc. that any of you may have and would be greatly appreciated:)
