I wasn't sure how this dish would turn out, but I was pleasantly surprised. The chicken was moist and flavorful, and the sauce was tangy and sweet.

This is quite a versatile dish, which could be used as a main course or as a side dish. I served it with steamed green beans, which made a meal that was both delicious and nutritious.
