     Great flavor and so easy! I thought the glaze tasted a little like a honey barbecue. Yum! I served it with whole-wheat couscous (prepared with chicken broth, scallions, garlic, curry powder, and a tiny bit of chopped dried apricots and cranberries) and steamed broccoli. Great, satisfying meal! - 7/1/09

     I make this a lot. I throw it all in a crockpot and let it slow cook. Very tender and has a great taste. - 7/28/09

     My husband raved over this dish. I had served it sliced over a bed of rice with a salad on the side and he could not believe how good this healthy meal tasted! Thanks for contributing it. This is going to be one of our new favorites! - 4/30/09

     i made this last night! my glaze never got thick but it was still awesome and i added some more seasonings to the chicken, some oregano, sage, garlic, seasoning salt. but it was really really good. even my teen "said mom, i think this is the best chicken i ever tasted" so this is going on the list! - 4/19/09

     soo good! I doubled the amount of sauce and in stead of using the skillet, i cooked it in the oven on 350 for 20 minutes, then i added some sauce, then 10 more minutes. - 1/2/12

     I just finished the recipe and ate it. My family and I loved it. I did add onion powder, garlic powder, and small amount of season salt but, the recipe was excellent. will cook it again for my family. - 4/20/09

     It was very easy to make and the proportions were just right. I didn't have any thyme so I used Italian seasoning and it turned out great. The only thing I noticed is that as the glaze sits, it gets thicker (for those wondering why it's so runny). Delicious! - 10/19/09

     This is so easy, and I always have these ingredients on hand. I served this over whole wheat cous cous and it was great. This is definitely going to be a regular on our menu! - 3/29/09
  • MAINEROCKS
     Yum! Like another suggested, I used garlic powder instead of salt. It was great and I didn't miss the sodium at all. Easy, good, fast - will make again for sure. - 10/30/09
  • KDKOSMO
     Delicious! I forgot Balsamic Vinegar at the store :( and substituted Rice Vinegar instead. Still turned out great. The honey really makes the chicken sweet. Kids will LOVE this recipe. - 4/28/09

     Although a bit too sweet for my tastes, my roommate (who has a sweet-tooth!) raved about it. The thyme was the best part of this dish IMO, and I may try cutting the honey in half next time.
    Thanks for a good recipe. - 9/20/09

     Very easy and good, but I was expecting better because of the high overall rating. I found the chicken to be unexceptional. - 3/26/09
