I'm sorry I haven't been posting a lot lately. Next week I'm going on vacation for a whole week and my goal is to post a new recipe each day for you.
This chicken recipe is pretty tasty and I'm always looking for different ways to flavor up chicken. If you love Thai food then you will definitely like this chicken. It is so easy to make.. Just cook some chicken breasts in a pan. Remove the chicken after it is cooked and sautee the garlic and ginger mixture. To save some time, I always buy the grated ginger and garlic in a jar. Add in the soy sauce and brown sugar mixture and let that reduce. I added the chicken back in while the sauce was cooking so it can cook with all those extra flavors. This was total yum. Can't wait to make it again.
