I really wanted to like this recipe after reading all the reviews, but found it really disappointing. The flavor was just, there, nothing special.02/03/10

This was fine, but not great. I feel like it's average at best and a really strange sauce concoction. I recently made CL's Raspberry-Balsamic Glazed Chicken which is very similar but definitely a real five star outstanding recipe - just as easy to make as well. I prefer it to this one; therefore, I wouldn't make this recipe again.01/27/10
