Brand new recipe that I tried on friends and it was delicious. The thyme and ginger are subtle, the sauce perfect. I used riso instead of rice, but I am not sure I will do that again. I will make it again and I am sharing it with others!

My husband and I loved it! It's much more flavorful than your ordinary chicken dish! Will most certainly make again.
