Well, I have to say I didn't have much hope for this but was I pleasantly surprised! On a scale of 1 to 10, we gave it an 8.5

I did make the following changes/additions:

I used Penzy's Florida Seasoned Pepper in place of reg. pepper
I doubled the sauce (good thing, too)
I didn't use almonds and my mother made the comment that it would have been good with almonds and I said I left them off:eek: NOT.

Served with jasmine rice scented with garlic and green onion and steamed green beans with Penzy's trinidad seasoning. Yum!

I've never had a cooked grape before. It was very tasty...my mother said she could eat just the sauce and the rice alone - forget the chicken! I did cook it down - six min. boiling at a good clip and then another 4 when I put the chicken back in.

Hi luv2cook,

My September issue hasn't arrived yet but now I'm even more anxious to receive it. This recipe sounds good! Sunday night I made chicken with a sauce of bell peppers, raisins, almonds and balsamic vinegar and it was a hit with my sweetheart. This one sounds similar and I'm looking forward to trying it.

Have you tried the one with a sauce of balsamic vinegar and seedless raspberry preserves? Yum! I think it's in the Complete Cooking Light cookbook.

Jasmine-Rose, yes, I have tried both of those. I will see if I can download it and then I'll send it to you...
