While this was by no means a bad dish, my husband and I agreed it was just bland and boring. If I ever tried it again, I’d sear the chicken breast first in a skillet and then pour the sauce over them to finish in the oven. Maybe the sauce would have held onto the chicken better then and given it more flavor. Nice recipe idea, but poor execution.

This recipe is so easy & so tasty! Whole family liked the flavor of the chicken. I used the chicken leftover for Robin’s Chicken taquitos with roasted red pepper, also a thumbs up!

How could something so easy be so good.

This is my first TV recipe I have ever tried. My goal is to learn to cook this summer. 🙂 I made just as the directions stated with only a couple of minor changes, thanks to all the other reviews. I made the marinade and placed it over the chicken then put it in the refrigerator for a couple of hours. I then placed the chicken in a new pan and placed the marinade on top, only the thick part. (since people stated that the marinade was too thin). My whole family loved it! Definitely made my new cookbook for keeper recipes. Thank you Robin!

Everyone loved this chicken dish. It is so nice when everyone likes a dish so much that they ask “when are we having this again”. I plan on making this at least once a week. Great recipe Robin.

This is on my use list pretty much every other week. I double the soy & smoke. Cook for 30 min then flip and spoon sauce. Go another 10 min. Perfect! We add the chicken to other meals too. So good.

This is definately a recipe that I will use over and over again. So easy and so yummy. I have sent it to several people allready.

This chicken is so delicious but not enough sauce for me.Next time I’ll double the marmalade, liquid smoke and shoyu. I also think it would be better if allowed to maranate for a few hours. I put a little water in the panr so I could have a dipping sauce,this added to the flavor. I will definintely make this recipe again.

My husband and I are not ones for the smokey flavor so I omitted that portion and added additional soy sauce. My husband loved this meal.
