Hi Will- that looks yummy!  I love to see easy chicken recipes because it's not one of my favorite things to eat although I know it's better for you than other meat. I'll give this one a try.

My mom made a chicken dish with whole chicken breasts that had similar ingredients. She called it Hawaiian Chicken and served it over rice.
