What a great new way to serve up chicken breasts, something that we have around here quite a bit! I'm not big on the chilies, but it's recipes like that that help me get more used to them, & I'm a really hugh fan of lemon pepper, so . . . Thanks for a great keeper recipe!

This is a quick and easy recipe to put together. We enjoyed it...but the sauce flavour was not what I was expecting from these ingredients. And I think it had something to do with the ratio of lemon juice/honey/brown sugar. Thank you for sharing. I made this for New Kids on the Block tag game.

We really enjoyed this (though if the DM hadn't been dining I would have used at hotter chilli) but she even surprised eating up all the sauce with its tary flavour. My only trouble was in cooking the the chicken (nothing new - can do it in kebabs, stir fries or in the oven but have to do in the fry pan and I have troubles) but we got there took about 35 minutes to cook through [breasts were about 220gm each skinless] but were still moist - as first for me [usually dry or undercooked]. I prepared all the ingredients early in the afternoon so everything was measured out ready to go and it made for a meal that took as long to cook the chicken breasts, thank you The Flying Chef, made for Edition 7 - Make My Recipe.
