Mom! What’s for Dinner?

Montana Mommy

‘Sweet, Sticky, Spicy Chicken’ has become one of my “Go-to dinners” for our family.

This recipe was suggested to me by Nor Cal Mommy-she found it at www.allrecipes.com.
With a couple of minor changes to the recipe found on the website, I now make it often- and it’s not too spicy for the kids!

•1 tablespoon brown sugar
•2 tablespoons honey
•1/4 cup soy sauce
•2 teaspoons chopped fresh ginger root (I use powdered)
•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

1.Mix together brown sugar, honey, soy sauce, ginger, garlic and hot sauce in a small bowl.
2.Lightly salt and pepper the chicken strips.
3.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.

Montana Mommy’s changes
1.Dredge the chicken in flour first (many others suggested this too).
2.Double the sauce ingredients.
3.Only use 1 tablespoon hot sauce!
4.Add steamed broccoli to the chicken before serving.
5.Top it with cashews too!

Serve over rice and enjoy!
