Recipe 13: Carmelized Chicken

This is a really simple recipe that I found on allrecipes.com and used the suggestions of the other visitors to the site to adapt to chicken breasts. The original recipe is intended for chicken wings, but this version is amazing. The flavor is something like a honey teryaki, and the chicken comes out so tender!

INGREDIENTS:

4 chicken breasts, seasoned with black pepper
3/4c ketchup
3/4c honey
1/2c soy sauce (low sodium preferred)
3-4 cloves garlic, minced
1 tsp (or more) of hot sauce

DIRECTIONS:

Combine the ketchup, honey, soy sauce, garlic and hot sauce in a small sauce pan and bring to a boil on the stove- cook to reduce a couple minutes.

Place chicken in a lightly greased 9X13 casserole dish and pour the sauce over the chicken. Place in a preheated oven @350 and bake for 40 minutes. Serve and pour some of the extra sauce over the chicken.

The result was sweet, a little spicy, and really tender:


I made a side of Uncle Ben's wild rice (quick cook recipe) with some added frozen veggies. This recipe is definitely a keeper!
