Erika, girl I made this last night and it was a huge hit… Thank you so much for sharing. Question do you have any idea the calorie content?

  I can estimate the calorie count of the sauce to be somewhere around 4-500 calories because of the high sugar content… but then again, the entire batch of sauce is for 2lbs of chicken, and probably won’t (or shouldn’t) all be used. It also depends on the quality and calorie count of your light brown sugar.

Thank you Erika for your answer. I did a little research yesterday on the calories because it was such a hit. I estimated the whole meal to be about 512 including a half chicken breast. But if you add rice which I love brown rice a half cup is 340 calories with a side cup of broccoli with a little butter came to about 104. As you can tell I am counting calories and exercising and leaving the HCG alone

Thank you again for a delicious new meal for the family.

Erika I was looking at another recipe the calories for 1 serving without the broccoli and brown rice is 238 which is half a chicken breast

Wow..this recipe was a HIT! I’ve always had this concept that a restaurant dish like this couldn’t be replicated but this is better in so many ways. I actually juiced an apple for the apple juice and used homemade ketchup just to take it up a notch

Simply amazing! Added a little corn starch to thicken the sauce and didn’t use any apple juice (for some reason I overlooked it on the recipe and didn’t purchase any). Overall… very quick and easy dish!

I made this tonight and it was delicious. The sauce wasn’t as thick as I wanted but with practice I think it will come out better. I also added red,green,orange and yellow peppers and green onions to give it more oomf.

I wish I added the peppers later because I ended up cooking all the colors out.

But it’s delicious and I have a weeks worth of lunches!

I made this tonight. I used simply apple juice and added a little cornstarch the last few minutes to thicken the sauce some. I served over brown rice (which I made with 3/4 water and 1/4 chicken broth) and a side of Asian medley veggies and this.was.bomb!
