A Chicken Hit!

This one was a hit! I love that it is a straight forward fix it and forget it meal. The sauce was amazing and I loved the taste of it before I cooked it. I bet it would be delicious on a stir fry too. The only thing I had to alter was the chicken, I used regular chicken thighs and halved the recipe. Delicious!
