I am rating it a 5 star as it was great for us. We had 2 chicken breasts on a bbq after marinating for 3hrs and they were great and then the next day after they marinated for another day I cooked the other 2 breasts it in the oven in the marinade for 30mins as my chicken breasts were quite large and i didn't pre brown them so I did devate from the recipe though. Served with mashed potato & pumpkin mash & corn on the cob. Made for JUNE Beverage Tag: How Does Your Garden Grow?

Mary, at your suggestion, I opted to use boneless skinless chicken breasts and I let it marinade overnight. The flavors do work very well together, but it is missing something. perhaps your way of on the grill would work better, or maybe coated with bread crumbs and fried in a little oil. I made it using Rachaels oven method and agree with the other reviewers, I wasn't blown away by it either, but there is definite potential if tweaked. I gave it 3-stars, which to us is not a bad rating, it means... We liked it. :)

I have two boys who will usually eat most things I put in front of them. As a single mom I use them as my guinea pigs....sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't. I have a huge garden, blueberry and blackberry bushes. I am always looking for a new recipe. I have three cats (Xiao Mao, which means little cat in Chinese, Pumpkin and Max) and two border collies, Lucy and Grace. All my animals come from Rescue Agencies.
