      We made this last evening, it was just so easy and yummy. I made enough for two days but there was nothing left for the next day! 😱! Thank you for this great recipe!

      I made this a few nights ago and followed your directions completely. The only problem I had was it was asking too long for the sauce to reduce so I turned up the heat which did the trick. I gotta tell you we (Mrs. Jake and I) were both totally impressed. Nice sweet garlicky heat

      My advice to those making this recipe? Follow it to a T. The ingredient proportions can not be improved. A new twist on chicken, and the Mrs. loved it. Thank you Bee!

      Hi Rasa! You knew that a sweet garlic sauce for chicken would catch every ones attention. Another exciting way to cook chicken. A sweet garlic sauce. Sweet and garlic.Heat up that skillet!! I would so like to try this! The drawback for me is chicken thighs. I really don’t like the dark meat of ANY poultry. Can I adapt this to breasts? I know about the moistness factor of dark meat but that doesn’t make me like it. Any suggestions for adjusting the recipe? Thanks for taking time to read this.Best wishes! Barb
