This has been a standby for me for years. It's a great mix of odd flavors, but it works quite well. I serve this with fried rice and it goes quite nicely with it. I agree with previous reviewers- chicken tenders or strips work alot better instead of the chicken breasts. Otherwise, you run the risk of burning the crust while you wait for the chicken to cook through.
