    A great recipe that again my husband loved! I will make it again. I used thin chicken breast and it was great!

    So far this has been my favorite recipe. I did it with boneless, skinless chicken breasts and it was still yummy. I love how the juice reduces down and carmelizes.

    This was delicious. I let the juices cook down while the chicken was resting. I used thick chicken breasts because that’s what we had. That sauce was EVERYTHING! The whole family loved it.
