sweet and spicy chicken, asian style

i'm a sucker for meals like this in a restaurant. i know they're not the best for you when you're out and about, but relatively speaking, this recipe isn't too bad for you.  oh yeah, and it's delicious!!

ingredients:

1 T brown sugar
2 T honey
1/4 cup soy sauce (gluten-free of course!)
2 tsp chopped fresh ginger
2 tsp chopped garlic
2 T hot sauce
salt & pepper to taste
2-3 chicken breasts, cut into bite-sized pieces
~1T olive or vegetable oil

directions: mix together brown sugar, honey, soy sauce, ginger, garlic and hot sauce in a small bowl. lightly salt & pepper the chicken. heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat. brown chicken on both sides and cook until *almost* cooked through. set aside. add sauce to the hot pan and stir constantly until reduced and thick (but not quite sticky). add chicken and further cook until chicken is cooked through and sauce is sticky and thick.

serve with steamed rice and a green vegetable like snap peas. enjoy!
