Chicken Breast Roasted with Watermelon-Tequila Sauce
   #72695
 Marina (North Carolina) says:
Delicious! And very easy to make! I made mine entirely in the oven, broiling the chicken to get some color on it, then baking it and adding the sauce (pretty much following the recipe). The sauce was kind of thin, so I added a little bit of flour, which gave the right consistency. I also substituted rum for tequila, which worked really well.
