If you're looking for a recipe thats quick, easy and very tasty, this is it! Since I had leftover veggies from another day, I sauteed some chopped shallots with the chicken but excluded the carrrots & green onions at the end. I divided the quantities in half but made no changes to the timing when cooking for 2 people. It was perfect! I found the amount of sauce to be good for us but I did thicken it while I was plating the veggies. Thanks for another winner Gerry! -
This was absolutely wonderful!!! After reading other reviews I doubled the sauce, as if it was as good as others had said I did not want to wish we had more. It definitely is a yummy sauce and I am sooo glad I did make the extra. I also added some chili flakes right at the end just to give some spice to the sweetness. I did taste it before doing this and it gorgeous without, this was just for our personal taste we like a little spice, when it is a sweet sauce. It is so very quick and easy to make, with such a wonderful end result. This will become one of our favourites, a great post Gerry. -
This was excellent. I used a good red wine instead of sherry, and no green onions (didn't have any), otherwise followed recipe as is. The sauce cooked down to a wonderful glaze, and the carrots soaked up the flavor of the sauce and were delicious. Am definitely making this a regular. -
This is a VERY good and easy recipe. Didn't make extra sauce and felt the chicken absorbed some of it nicely. Through the veggies in for the last 5 minutes of cooking and they were nice and tender. -
Delish! Such an easy meal to prepare, too. The sauce is so flavorful thanks to the honey. The carrots taste wonderful due to being cooked in the sauce. I sliced my chicken up and served it over rice. Yummy!

<p>I live in Saskatchewan where hospitality and food go hand in hand. Community suppers, Beef Pit Barbecues, Church suppers, potlucks, tea and bake sales, booths at the curling and hockey rinks in winter, the ball games in summer. What is truly the spirit of Saskatchewan is that these events are for most part the efforts of community volunteers sharing their time as well as their best make and takes. Small communities along with the larger centres across the province are well known for their turkey suppers, cabbage rolls, perogies and overflowing dessert tables. Homemade of course! <br /> <br />I love preparing meals for my family and friends and in the sharing of good recipes be they mine or that of another. My posted recipes are recipes that are family favorites. My reviews here on Zaar allow that I have been most fortunate in the choosing of the recipes I have made. Without doubt we all love those over the top desserts and dishes to serve on special occasions and for those fives are a given. For me equally important are the recipes used in the daily meal preparation. Recipes enjoyed by my family be it a simple soup, salad or casserole are right up there with the 'over the tops' and share equal billing. Yes five star ratings ... if my family enjoyed, I would serve to invited guests, take to a pot luck, coffee hour or bake sale. <br /></p>
<p>Aside from cooking and baking I admit that my interest in gardening exceeds that of the norm. I collect cookbooks, my favorites being the community and church cookbooks that have everyone sharing their favorite recipes. Enjoy yard sales on occasion but tend to keep my hands in my pockets, cannot completely resist when it comes to the glassware, baskets and of course cookbooks. I take great pleasure in reading with non fiction being my first choice when it comes to the choosing.</p>
