I made this for book club last night - should have tried it first, but didn't. I didn't think it was very tasty and neither did the guests - followed the recipe exactly.

Thank you for this recipe. It was melt in your mouth chicken and kids loved it. Didn't add dates though, and instead of garlic powder I ground a 1/2 tsp of cumin seeds....adds great flavour. I am using this recipe as a guide to cook marinated chicken breast for dinner tonight.

Yum! Yum! Yum! This dish is really good. We finished it off in no time flat. We all really enjoyed it. I almost skipped the dates because I didn't have any, but decided at the last minute to run to the store. So glad I did. The house smells fantastic while it simmers, too!

Really great base recipe - I didn't have dates and I omitted the garlic cloves because I decided to serve this chicken with garlic bread. I was worried that my chicken breast would turn out too dry but it was very moist and tender! Great recipe to add on to and experiment with!

This recipe was incredibly easy - I didn't have either bacon or dates, so it's hard to even say I made the recipe. Added a little extra olive oil to make up for the missing bacon fat, and added raisins and chopped peppers to the pan. It was still delicious and much healthier. Next time I'll probably just use one strip of bacon, it certainly doesn't need all 6 if you're concerned about the fat or cholesterol content.

Fantastic! My family is Spanish and this tasted like something you'd find in your local tapas bar. I substituted raisins for the dates, don't skip the "sweet" ingredient , the raisins contrasted well with the saltiness of the bacon. My husband and kids loved the recipe as written, okay my son just wanted to eat all the bacon but that's fine by me! Thanks for the great recipe!

Tasted excellent. I did not add dates because I didn't have any. I didn't have as much onion as is called for, so I added a bit of onion powder. I was fresh out of bacon, but included some bacon grease. I also added a dash of red pepper. My picky eater husband loved it. Served it with spanish rice and a side of corn. Excellent dinner. Will definitely make again. Only problem was I couldn't get the flour to stick, but next time I'll probably back the chicken or figure out a crock pot version to make it healthier anyway.

Excellent quick dish! I did make one modification, since we prefer cranberries to dates. I substituted ~ 1/2 cup of dried cranberries for the dates. Even my fussiest eater had seconds!
