    I just made this and the flavors were perfect. Healthier than fried but still has a super flavorful crust and juicy on the inside I exchanged chopped jalapeno peppers for the garlic and it turned out great. Next, will make it for guests.

    This chicken was fantastic! Loved the flavors and how moist it was. Used the pan drippings to sauté some rice I had already cooked and served along side the chicken with some fresh green beans, my husband couldn’t say enough how much he enjoyed the meal!

    Sounds quite delicious! So, I'm thinking fried rice to go with it as a side. Do you or anyone else have any other suggestions for good side accompaniments?

    I’m going to Boil egg noodles to al dente. Strain noodles and sauté noodles in butter, garlic, Parmesan cheese and season to taste. You can add fresh minced parsley or dried. Or for a pop of flavor sauté the noodles in Sun Dried tomatoes oil, Parmesan and season to taste.

    This was to die for, it was so flavorful, juicy and tender. I had to substitute boneless/skinless thighs, that's all I had, and it still turned out delicious. This is a recipe which can be put together very quickly if you have all your ingredients ready. THIS IS A MUST TRY Y'ALL.

    What a wonderful recipe and it's a new family favorite. I double the sauce and add steamed broccoli after the chicken is cooked and serve over rice. Versatile enough to add orange peel for orange chicken or hot peppers to kick it up.

    Just tried this. This was AMAZING. I had all the ingredients except 1T honey. I used golden syrup instead. It turned out fantastic. Not dried out inside, very juicy! This is going in the rotation!

    What sides do you recommend to go with the best chicken breast recipe? The tomato cucumber as pictured looks great. Is there a dressing for it?

    I am planning on making this recipe. I am single and only cooking for myself. It would be helpful to have the ingredient size for smaller or larger serving sizes.

    Honestly I was a little hesitant about the apple cider vinegar, but this was really good and quick. This will be a great go to recipe for me! Served it with coconut rice yummy.

    Second time making this recipe and it is delicious! My husband says the chicken is as tasty as a filet. I double the sauce because it is so good. Tonight the sides were mashed potatoes with skin and baby carrots. The sauce was good on the carrots. I changed nothing about the recipe. Thank you for this post.

    This sounds delicious but I have just one question. When it says 3 chicken breasts it means both sides of the breast right? So actually 6 servings?

    Usually it means boneless skinless chicken breast halves so it would be three servings. I wish I knew how big the breasts are so I could plan the timing better

    This was the best chicken I have ever made. I doubled the sauce and added onion powder, garlic powder and paprika to the flour before coati g the chicken. Having extra sauce was wonderful as I served with mashed potatoes and the sauce was a nice addition. I highly recommend this. This will be in my line up. Thank you!!!!!

    I notice that the flavor profile is very similar to Filipino adobo - braised chicken with soy sauce, vinegar, garlic and black pepper. Sugar/honey is an optional ingredient in that dish.
