Did not like..used the whole can of lemonade with double the rest of the recipe as itglow said they would of liked more sauce. It was way too tart for what my husband and I like. Used skinless boneless breasts...put them in frozen and they do not dry out.

Very good.... would have liked more sauce....used thighs and they came out tender but on dry side. Will reduce time of cooking next time.
