Sweet and Tangy Skillet Chicken

Sweet and Tangy Skillet Chicken can be on your table in 30 minutes for a fast and flavorful supper.

This is actually a variation of another recipe that I make. One night I didn't have all the necessary ingredients and improvised with the base idea of the first recipe and made something I think we like even better. 

The ingredient list for the recipe is a little unusual but it definitely works to make a tasty dinner.
