Delicious! So glad I tagged this to use up some mango chutney I had in the fridge - wonderful served with rice and peas for Sunday supper. I was able to reduce the amount of serving very easily - just using six chicken breasts, however I misread the ingredient list and used chicken breast halves with ribs and skin - just increased the cooking time to one hour and skipped step 3 - but dotted the chicken with butter instead and turned the chicken halfway through cooking. Thanks for sharing this delicious chicken recipe which we will be having again!

OK, here goes. I live in Athens, Greece. I moved out here many, many years ago from Ottawa, Canada - so I am blessed in having two wonderful heritages!
I suffer from compulsive obsessive behaviour with regard to food and my psychiatrist thought it would be a good idea to find a 'society' where many have the same problem and try to find a cure.
So far, I've copied a couple of thousand recipes from this site and my psychiatrist has thrown the towel in and refuses to answer the phone when I call.
What did I do wrong?
Got 3 kids that keep me on the go - 10 and under at this point (2008) - I may not get round to updating this for a few years, so you'll have to do your own maths.
I teach English full-time and Greek Cookery part-time. I would like to make the cooking part of it full-time and the English Grammar part of it part-time.
That's all for now.
