Ingredients

  • ¼ cup soy sauce

  • 2 tablespoons honey

  • 2 tablespoons hot sauce

  • 1 tablespoon brown sugar

  • 2 teaspoons chopped fresh ginger root

  • 2 teaspoons chopped garlic

  • 4 skinless, boneless chicken breast halves - cut into 1/2 inch strips

  • salt and pepper to taste

  • 1 tablespoon vegetable oil

Directions

  1. Whisk soy sauce, honey, hot sauce, brown sugar, ginger, and garlic together in a small bowl; set sauce aside.

  2. Lightly season chicken with salt and pepper.

  3. Heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add chicken; cook and stir until browned, about 1 minute per side. Pour sauce over chicken; simmer, uncovered, until sauce thickens, 8 to 10 minutes.

Editor's Note:

If you saw this recipe in the "Vegetable Insurgency" article in the Jun/Jul/Aug 2015 issue of Allrecipes, we added 1/2 pound of broccoli florets to it. If you want to add the crunch of crisp-tender broccoli to this dish, add the florets in Step 3 when you brown the chicken strips.
