This is the best chicken I have ever made or eaten in my life. It is the perfect combination of sweet and savory, and is great for a quick, yet still fancy, meal.

I really don't like to give less then 5 star reviews, but I have learnt that reviewing a recipe honestly, will help with the next person making it. With that said....I have to agree with momaphet review, this was caramel sweetness. I added green onions also. Well sweet it was, so I dropped in a few dashes of Tabasco sauce. We managed to eat it, (a little bit) but was HOT! So I prep'd a Ceasar Salad. I didn't get to take a photo cuz my digital cam batteries went dead and we had bad weather today and I didn't want to go out just for batteries.

    We found this sauce to be complete inedible because of the overwhelming sweetness; Caramel chicken rather then carmelized. I tried several things to cut the sweetness but nothing really worked. The only thing that save dinner was that I hadn't put the chicken in the sauce yet, though we tried it with the sauce to make sure that wouldn't help the sweetness.

    I actually made this with pork and served it with brown rice. Really, really delicious and different. The black pepper is a must to off-set the sweetness of the sugar and cream. This will definitely be on regular rotation, though I may try substituting fat free half and half for the cream just to spare us all the guilt.

    My husband said this was a definite keeper! We both loved this. We are garlic lovers and it was just perfect. I served it over brown rice and steamed broccoli. I also used Half and Half instead of the heavy cream. Thank you for sharing such an easy and tasty recipe!
