We too like this recipe with half the sugar. Served over rice or noodles with a side of green beans and you have yourself one terrific meal. Thanx for sharing! -
I wish I would have read the other reviews before making. We thought this was way too sweet as written. I did use Splenda brown sugar but I think 1 cup is way to much sugar. I like sweet but that was all you could taste. My hubby ate it but the kids wouldn't. If I make again I would definately cut way back on the sugar. -
With some changes this was great. I used 1/4 cup of splenda brown sugar instead of 1 cup regular brown sugar and 1 cup red wine. Even with the less amount of sugar I found this chicken dish very sweet, but excellent. Oh yeah, I used about 3 tbs of garlic... but I always over load on garlic lol. -
My boyfriend liked this, but I found that it was too sweet. I really couldn't taste the red wine or other seasonings because of the overwhelming sweetness. I think that this might work better with less brown sugar (1/2 cup or so) and if you marinate the chicken in this sauce for a couple of hours or overnight before cooking. Thanks, Jen's Kitchen, for posting.
