I've done this recipe before with frozen mesquite chicken breasts, however I haven't been able to find them recently so I developed this recipe using fresh chicken breasts and liked the result even better. This pairs well with our cinnamon apples, check out our recipe for these on our website. We made it for company last night and they loved it. We hope you like it too.
