I made no alterations in the recipe other than cutting it in half. I used 2 large chicken breasts which I filleted horizontally. I used a smaller cooker (1.5 qt). I cooked it for 3 hours on high & 2 hours on low. I knew the chicken was done because it broke Jim in Tampa Bayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07071659457123020017noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5090591139439935093.post-19408984563718876072020-12-12T20:10:21.296-08:002020-12-12T20:10:21.296-08:00I just wanted to note that I've made this befo...I just wanted to note that I've made this before, and it's a *huge* hit! Both with me and my ex-husband! <br /><br />I also wanted to say that if you exchange the lemon-lime soda for Mountain Dew, it really elevates it! Something about the flavor of it (probably the tropical 'hint') just makes it that much better. It's absolutely *smashing* that way!

There is little to no fat in boneless, skinless chicken breast so after it is fully cooked and somewhat "seared" on the outside, it breaks down in the sauce and starts to get that mealy texture.<br /><br />if Stephanie ODeahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08618710485017373256noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5090591139439935093.post-51707681906950550172015-01-14T05:02:26.642-08:002015-01-14T05:02:26.642-08:00I have a question about the vinegar.

I think it was because i can't do soy very well. If it's too strong of a smell, it turns my stomach. The second time i made it, i used apple cider vinegar and substituted some local honey for the soy sauce. Sooooooo much better! My 3 year old even wanted seconds!

Today I cut up a cold piece and put it over a bowl of spring mix and dressed it with some of the cold sauce as a dressing and it was AMAZING.
