MY REVIEW OF THIS RECIPE
I really liked it! The chicken was very moist and not dried out at all because it cooked in the sauce. Even Scott (who is SOOO picky) liked it! I served it with the steamed broccoli and buttered rice for my family and for myself, I just omitted the rice. This served my entire family of 5! I will definitely be cooking this one again. It was easy and yummy... a winning combination. :)
