Sweet, Sticky and Spicy Chicken

"This chicken dish uses skinless boneless chicken breasts and tastes delicious. It's great as an appetizer or as a main dish served with rice and a veggie."


Ingredients

1 tablespoon brown sugar 2 tablespoons honey 1/4 cup soy sauce 2 teaspoons chopped fresh ginger root 2 teaspoons chopped garlic 2 tablespoons hot sauce salt and pepper to taste 4 skinless, boneless chicken breast halves - cut into 1/2 inch strips 1 tablespoon vegetable oil

Directions

Mix together brown sugar, honey, soy sauce, ginger, garlic and hot sauce in a small bowl.

Lightly salt and pepper the chicken strips.

Heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add chicken strips and brown on both sides, about 1 minute per side. Pour the sauce over the chicken. Simmer uncovered until the sauce thickens, 8 to 10 minutes.

Footnotes

Editor's Note: If you saw this recipe in the "Vegetable Insurgency" article in the Jun/Jul/Aug 2015 issue of Allrecipes, we added 1/2 lb. of broccoli florets to it. If you want to add the crunch of crisp-tender broccoli to this dish, add the florets in Step 3 when you brown the chicken strips.

Tip

Aluminum foil can be used to keep food moist, cook it evenly, and make clean-up easier.
