Sticky Chicken and Rice

Last week I did some experimenting and came up with a new chicken recipe that was actually a success!  Most of my experiments are big flops, so this was a big deal!  I’m calling this dish “Sticky Chicken” for lack of a better title.  I baked the chicken in the sauce (though I’m sure you could cook it in a skillet too), and then reduced the sauce to make it thicker and stickier.  Serve with rice and green beans for an easy dinner!

Sticky Chicken

recipe by me!

Ingredients:

• 3-4 boneless skinless chicken breasts, cut into chunks
• 3/4 cup brown sugar
• 3 tablespoons oyster sauce
• 1/4 lemon juice
• 2 tablespoons soy sauce
• 1 1/2 tablespoons fresh grated ginger
• 1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes

Whisk together brown sugar, oyster sauce, lemon juice, soy sauce, ginger, red pepper.  Place chicken chunks in a single layer in a baking dish, and pour the sauce over the top.  Bake for 45 minutes at 300 degrees, or until chicken is cooked through.  Remove chicken and keep warm.  Transfer sauce to a small saucepan, and bring to a boil.  Continue to cook, stirring occasionally, until sauce thickens.  Serve chicken over rice, and top with sticky sauce.
