I didn't marinate it (didn't figure out what I was cooking until supper time). So I cooked the chicken separately and then put the sauce in the pan and brought it to a boil. Added the chicken and let it simmer for about 20 minutes. FABULOUS. I also added a little fresh garlic to the sauce. Bit time winner.

This recipe was so easy and it turned out delicious. I made extra sauce and sauteed a bag of frozen mixed veggies in it. (the one with the water chestnuts, carrots, and snap peas, etc.) Then served the chicken and veggies over rice......mmmmm it was amazing! My husband loved it. His suggestion is to throw a dash of red pepper flakes in it next time for a kick! Gonna try it! :)
