David’s interpretation of Diane’s notes
We usually have the chicken with steamed rice (made separately) rather than potato or yam. Cooking for 30 minutes in our toaster oven seems to be more than sufficient (we normally make two breast halves and double the sauce). We usually use almonds (purchased already slivered). There’s usually not enough sauce to baste, but the chicken comes out tasty anyway.
