    My husband and I loved the flavor of this dish and would encourage everyone to try it. This is definitely going into our rotation of meals, I used whole chicken breasts and orange red and green peppers, onions. Next time I’m going to try thighs. Thanks for a great recipe.

    I am making this today but I wondering why the juice needs to be drained? Will it alter the taste that much?

      Hi Stacey ~ yes, it really does make a big difference in the flavor of the sauce. Without draining the juices, the sauce will be thiner, runnier, and less flavorful. When you drain the juices you’ll end up with a thick sauce with a more robust flavor. Hope that helps! 🙂

    I am in the process of making this recipe now! I will let you know of the results later. But I am curious, do I need to season the chicken or is the sauce enough for taste?

    Would it be different if I cubed the chicken beforehand, and what would it take to make this a freezer meal?

      I would also like to know if the chicken can be cubed at the beginning of cooking everything.

        I accidentally cut the chicken prior to cooking and it turned out fine. I’m glad I did, too. The chicken was pretty tender and cutting it might have torn it apart (shredding).
