I modified slightly to adapt for ingredients in my pantry. We're on a strict budget, so I made do with what was on hand. In place of tomato sauce I extra spaghetti sauce I had frozen. I used clear Karo syrup for honey, pancake syrup for molasses. Had everything else. I sliced the chicken breasts into thin cutlets, marinated overnight in the fridge, then seared in the skillet. Then I followed instructions to heat in oven for 30 minutes. The entire family oved them!
