Oriental Glazed Chicken

I was in the mood for something different and kind of Asian but not the traditional type stirfry. We all ended up enjoying this and my daughter who is the pickiest eater ever, actually ate quite a bit of it.

Oriental Glazed Chicken 


Ingredients
  • 1lb boneless chicken breasts, cut into 1" peices
  • 1/4 cup light soy sauce
  • 1/4 cup honey
  • 3 tbsp vegetable oil
  • 2 tbsp chili sauce (dont worry, you dont even taste it)
  • 1/2 tsp ground ginger
  • 1/4 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 cup chicken broth
  • 1 tbsp cornstarch
  • 4 cups coleslaw mix
  • 3 cups of rice (I used brown).
Directions
  1. Place chicken in a baking dish. (Make sure you pound the chicken before cutting it up so that it absorbs the marinade).
  2. In a small bowl combine soy sauce, honey, 2 tbsp veg oil, chili sauce, ground ginger and garlic power. Pour over chicken and toss to coat. Cover and refrigerate for an hour.
  3. Mix together the broth and cornstarch until smooth. Set aside.
  4. Heat large skillet over medium-high heat. Add chicken and marinade and bring to a simmer. Simmer, stirring occasionally, for 5 minutes. Remove chicken; set aside.
  5. Add reamining oil to skillet and add coleslaw mix. Cook, stirring until tender, about 4 minutes. Stir in broth mixture, bring to a boil. Reduce heat, simmer 1 minute, until suace thickens. Add in chicken and any accumulated liquid and heat through.
  6. Serve over rice.

- Heat large nonstick skillet on medium-high and add garlic & meat.
