This was amazing! After reading everyone's reviews, I seasoned the chicken with cayenne pepper, garlic salt, and pepper. I used a red bell pepper for color, and a plantain instead of a banana, no almonds. The dish was beautiful and it was a perfect pairing of sweet and spicy. Thanks for sharing! - 11/17/08

This was a hit at my house and will definitely become a regular on the menu!! The only thing I have to question is the accuracy of the nutritional info. The info is based on 6 servings w/4 oz of chicken, which would be 24 oz., however, the recipe only calls for 1 lb of chicken, which is only 16 oz - 11/13/07

I bought all the ingredients to make a half order of this for my husband and I. But my husband started complaining that he doesnt like fruit in his dinner. So I said fine, I'll cook it and take it for lunches. So I did & he couldnt keep his fingers out of the pan. I'll definitely make it again! - 7/5/09

Very good!! Re the blandness, remember chicken breast IS bland. We never use it, despite it's lower fat content--why not eat something that tastes good? We always use chicken thighs--skinless for BBQ, boneless & skinless for other recipes, cutting off all visible fat. Try boneless pork loin, too!! - 7/5/09
