This recipe was a waste of time. The chicken was tough and the sauce was bland. I would not recommend this recipe to anyone.

I followed the recipe exactly, but my chicken turned out dry. I'm not sure what I did wrong. The sauce was delicious, though.

This dish was a bit too sweet for my taste, but my kids loved it. The chicken was cooked perfectly, and the sauce was thick and flavorful. I would recommend using less sugar if you don't like your food too sweet.

This was a great recipe! The chicken was moist and flavorful, and the sauce was tangy and sweet. I made a few minor changes to the recipe, such as using honey instead of sugar, and it turned out perfectly. I will definitely be making this again.

I've made this recipe several times, and it always turns out great. The chicken is always moist and tender, and the sauce is delicious. I like to serve it over rice or noodles.

This dish was easy to make and tasted amazing! I used boneless, skinless chicken breasts, and the cooking time was perfect. The sauce was delicious, and I served it over rice. My husband and I both loved it.
