Honey-garlic chicken has been done before. In fact, we've long ago created our very own slow cooker honey-garlic chicken and vegetables recipe. But we don't always have 6 hours on our hands to cook dinner, nor is asparagus always in season.
For those reasons, we have cooked up a new plan for when dinner must be ready in an hour, and not a moment longer. This recipe also skips the coconut aminos and the homemade ketchup; at the same time, it favors broccoli and cherry tomatoes with plenty of spices.
There is no right or wrong way to cook, there are only preferences. Read recipes, study, cook, eat, repeat and gain confidence in choosing your own way. Just don't forget the honey!
It only takes a couple of tablespoons to bring a slightly irresistible sweetness to the table. There are so many kinds of honey, and they all taste different - you may be wondering which one to choose. The simple answer is the one you like best.
Alfalfa honey has a light, more neutral sweet taste, while buckwheat honey is earthier, heartier, and darker in color. Then there is clover honey, more fragrant linden honey, and orange blossom honey...
Measure just 2 tablespoons of the sweet stuff and move on to the rest of the ingredients before you start dreaming of Paleo baklava. Yes, there are amazingly delicious recipes for that - don't say we didn't warn you!
