Honey Chicken

Growing up, when my mom bought bone-in chicken breasts, it meant she would either make this honey chicken, or another recipe for lemon chicken.  I loved the lemon chicken and the honey chicken was my brother’s favorite.  We would sometimes argue about politely discuss which one mom should make. We had the honey chicken A LOT more than the other, which I always thought was because my brother was (and still is) my mom’s favorite (don’t deny it mom, everyone knows it’s true:).

Now that I’m older, I realize it was probably more because this honey chicken is soooo easy to make.  Seriously, it takes about 5 minutes to put together.  And I’ll let you in on a secret: I actually liked the honey chicken just as much as the other, but I didn’t want my brother to get his way.  Shh, don't tell ;).

- 4 chicken breasts (you can use bone-in or boneless, skinless)

- 1 clove garlic, minced

- 1/4 cup soy sauce

- 1/4 cup honey

- 2 Tbsp. vegetable oil

Combine all ingredients and pour over chicken.  Cook at 375 degrees for 45-60 minutes.

This chicken makes the house smell delicious AND it will make your husband think you spent a lot of time on dinner.  And if you’re like me, you’ll let him think that you slaved away and hint that he should do the dishes.  It’s only fair.
