You and your site rock! I can't WAIT to try this. But even more so I can't believe how quick your response was to my humble request : ) My obsessive hobby is lightening up recipes (and I have so many ideas it makes my HEAD spin)..yet I rarely get around to making many of them! I am so impressed by your site & recipes (the chocolate cookies were out of this world BTW...no one could believe those were light cookies) Thanks again! I'll let you know how this turns out..and if I find any other variations that are suitable : ) OMG OMG OMG! You and your site rock! I can’t WAIT to try this. But even more so I can’t believe how quick your response was to my humble request : )

Ketchup is basically watered down tomato paste that is spiked with vinegar and sugar after all. I rarely keep tomato paste in the house as I never use the whole can in a recipe and I don't like it sitting in the back of the fridge until I find it one day... Oh, and could I substitute boneless skinless chicken thighs instead of the breasts? Chicken breasts are so expensive so I opt for the less expensive (but I assume more fatty) chicken thighs. I have only ever had this dish at a restaurant once, but that was enough for me to want to try to make it at home!! :) Hmm, this may sound weird, but could I substitute ketchup for the tomato paste, water, vinegar, and sugar?
