Notes
For extra flavor, marinate the chicken in the honey-soy mixture for a few hours before cooking. Feel free to add vegetables like bell peppers or broccoli during the last hour of cooking for a complete meal. If you want a bit of heat, add a teaspoon of red pepper flakes to the sauce. Allow any leftovers to cool completely before transferring them to an airtight container. For longer storage, place the chicken in a freezer-safe container and it can last for up to 3 months.
