Wow, I bet this is amazing. I will be trying it this week. thank you Mr. Greg

Could you do this in the oven instead of stove top?
Sarah, You could. I’d just place in oven at 350° after adding the water and marmalade step. Cover and cook for about 15 minutes then uncover and cook until sauce is thickened.
Love the idea of the ginger added to it. Guess it would add an additional layer of bite.
Could I use chicken breasts instead?
Joanne, you could certainly use chicken breasts. I just like using thighs because I feel they have more taste. If you use breasts, I’d pound them into thinner cutlets so they aren’t so thick, chewy and possibly dry.
