Sweet & Spicy Chicken From Heaven

Do you ever wish you could create the delicious tastes of fast food without all the preservatives and other unknown ingredients? Well a certain Chinese chain has the best sweet & sour chicken EVER, and I finally found a comparable at-home recipe to share with you!

Ingredients:

4 boneless skinless chicken breasts
2 tbsp brown or white cane sugar
2 tbp honey (I used Agave Nectar - it was to die for!)
1/2 c soy sauce
2 tsp ginger
4 tsp garlic
4 tbsp hot sauce (I used Tapatio)
salt & pepper to taste
1-2 tbsp vegetable oil

Mix together sugar, honey, soy sauce, ginger, garlic, and hot sauce in a small bowl and set aside.

Cut chicken into bite sized pieces and lightly salt and pepper.

Heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the chicken strips and cook stirring occasionally until juices run clear and strips are lightly browned.

Pour the sauce over the chicken and simmer stirring until the sauce thickens, about 8 minutes.
