    Martha Stewart Member     Rating: Unrated       10/24/2012   This is one of the best things I've ever eaten. I am in love with the sauce that the garlic makes, it is so sweet and not at all like raw garlic. The chicken is always tender. I serve everything over brown rice with a random vegetable on the side. The children love it as well so that's a plus. I always make just a little extra and adjust the seasonings for my family's taste. Also, give yourself a little extra time for the garlic to cool because it is easier to handle when its not so hot.

Martha Stewart Member     Rating: Unrated       06/09/2008   We enjoyed this chicken recipe. The chicken was tender and had good flavor. It is good with roasted or steamed broccoli and crusty baguette to soak up the delicious juices from the chicken and sauce. I didn't make this in the microwave, but instead used the oven to make the sauce. We also like to have this with the sauce served over linguini.
