    I substituted boneless, skinless chicken breasts and used the sauce as a marinade rather than to baste the chicken with. Then I used the George Foreman grill to cook. Yum!

    Very easy and nice to have for the rest of the week to use on salads. Highly recommend this recipe. I didn't use the sage however.
