Absolutely WONDERFUL! Will definitely make this again! Very easy, very tasty. I will admit I was a little skeptical as to how it would taste given the vast array of ingredients, but they go together very well!

My family is always looking for new ways to fix boneless chicken breast and this was a GREAT way. The chicken was super moist. The only change I made in the recipe was I added a little less cumin and a little honey. You really need to try this.

After reading all of the reviews I took a few tips - I also flattened the chicken breasts before seasoning them so they would all cook evenly and I used a little more taco seasoning and sauce too. I made seasoned rice and corn to serve with it and it turned out excellent. Very tender and juicy with a lot of flavor. My kids and my husband really liked it. This will go in with one of my regular dinner-fixings.
