I thought this chicken was *fabulous*! I made the recipe as written, using boneless/skinless chicken breasts, with the exception of substituting in reduced sodium soy sauce for the regular. I knew I would like it, and I was not disappointed. I kept cutting off bites of chicken and soaking up the extra sauce with them. Mmmm. Next time I might let the chicken breasts rest for a few minutes, cut them into thin slices, and then pour the extra sauce over them.. Served with green beans and rice. It was SO good. Thank you so much for shring!
