I do love this recipe. I have had this in my dinner "rotation" for several years. Agree w/ the other review that the vinegar is a little too strong. I cut back a little and also add a little brown sugar.

This is a lazy-day dish reserved for when you really don't feel like cooking or shopping. Keep all the ingredients in the pantry. It's also a good dish to sneak leftover vegetables into. Use spinach, zucchini, all kinds of mushrooms, and green onions, and they all taste great. For more chicken dinners, see our complete collection of chicken recipes.
