After the "cooking spray" in the ingredients, the rest of the ingredients are for the sauce, Z would not let me post it that way or I am too blonde to figger it out. LOL At the other site, this got rave reviews, especially the sauce. Prep time is approximate. Can't wait to try it! This is posted for ZWT 2010. Recipe from Southern Living, September, 2005.
