We are having an extremely nice pre-Spring day and I did NOT want to spend a lot of time in the kitchen! I found this Cooking Light recipe over at "What's Cooking in the Orange Kitchen" blog. IN and OUT of the kitchen in a jiffy, a delicious meal, and not a lot of clean-up. Read more Who doesn't love that? :) See less

5-stars here. Doubled entire recipe. Also had to add your amt of corn starch to thicken up the sauce. Also added zest of 2 limes.
Mother tested and approved.

It was good, my family liked it but it wouldn't necessarily be something i make regularly. Sauce was too heavy. Not all-over good.
