Sweet, Sticky, and Spicy Chicken (A Quick Skillet Recipe)

Here's another recipe I found in a magazine recently, and I couldn't wait to try it out.  It's really good served over rice.  In fact, it's so good, I'd recommend doubling the recipe!


Sweet, Sticky, and Spicy Chicken

1 1/2 T lite soy sauce
1/4 c honey
1/4 t ginger
1 T minced garlic
1 T hot sauce (or to taste)
2 T brown sugar
1/4 c chicken broth

1 1/2 lb boneless, skinless chicken breast, cut into 1" strips
1/3 c flour
1/4 t pepper
canola oil for cooking

In a small bowl, mix together the soy sauce, honey, ginger, garlic, hot sauce, brown sugar, and chicken broth for the sauce.

Mix together the flour and pepper and dredge the chicken pieces in it. 

In a skillet, heat 2 T of oil.  Brown chicken on medium heat about 1 minute each side.  Don't worry about cooking it through at this time.  Work in batches, adding oil as necessary.  Return all chicken to the skillet and pour sauce over chicken.  Lower heat and simmer 8-10 minutes until sauce thickens.
