I used to make this chicken before Medifast and loved the flavor of it. It gave the chicken a very nice subtle sweet and citrusy flavor. Well, I wanted to try it again while remaining on plan. How am I going to do that you ask? Well, Walden Farms of course! I had just bought a bunch of items from Walden Farms and two of the items were the ingredients I needed to make this dish: maple syrup or pancake syrup and orange marmalade. So I was in business! This chicken had a very good flavor and it was very moist. I thought I would have a slight after taste, as I usually do with all sugar free products made with splenda, but it wasn't really apparent in this dish, despite the amount of Walden Farms products I used. It could be because of the added balsamic vinegar and Dijon mustard. If you are craving a slightly sweet type of meat, then this is a great dish for you. I am extremely pleased at how this chicken came out and it will definitely add variety to my menu. Thanks to Walden Farms, I can still have something I used to like to eat before Medifast.
