Honey Sauced Chicken

Recipe Adapted From:
mmmcafe (Pinterest)

Ingredients:
3/4 pound chicken (of your choice)
1/2 tsp. salt
1/4 tsp. black pepper
1/2 cup honey
1/4 cup soy sauce
1/8 cup chopped onion (or 1/16 cup onion soup mix)
1/8 cup ketchup
1 Tbs. vegetable oil
1 clove garlic, minced
1/4 tsp. red pepper flakes

Preparation:
Season both sides of chicken with salt and pepper, put into crock pot. In a small bowl, combine honey, soy sauce, onion, ketchup, oil, garlic and pepper flakes. Pour over chicken. Cook on low for 3 hours or on high 1 1/2 hours. Chicken into bite size pieces, then return to pot and toss with sauce. Serve over rice or noodles.

To bake chicken as a 30 minute meal:
Dice chicken and season both sides with salt and pepper, place in 8x8 pan. Pour sauce over chicken and bake at 350 for 20 minutes, stirring after 10 minutes.

Notes & Tips:
I chose to do this using the oven instead of the crock pot since I have a huge crockpot and I didn't feel like cleaning all that up. The recipe was very good, but I would suggest serving it with rice and not noodles since the noodles got a bit slippery. I did think the sauce was a little thin, so I thickened it up with a little cornstarch.

Serves 2
