I have a cookbook titled "Quick & Easy" and it is one of my favorites for a go to meal. Today I am sharing a recipe from that book. A recipe we tried on the spur of the moment, and loved. Sorry...for those of you who like pictures with your recipes...today I have none. But what I can offer, is an easy and yummy meal!
Honey-Glazed Chicken
Ingredients:
8 skinless chicken thighs
salt
Scant 1 1/4 Cups medium sherry
1 Tablespoon cornstarch
3 Tablespoons honey
3 Tablespoons red wine vinegar
1 Tablespoon dark soy sauce
3 garlic cloves (minced)
Instructions:
Preheat broiler to medium. To make glaze, pour 1 cup of the sherry into a small pan and bring to a boil. Continue to boil fo r6 minutes, or until reduced by half. Meanwhile, mix the remaining sherry and cornstarch together in a bowl until it forms a smooth paste. Remove the sherry from the heat and whisk in the honey, vinegar, soy sauce, and garlic. Return the pan to the heat and whisk in the cornstarch paste. Let simmer, whisking constantly, for about a minute, then remove from the heat and let cool slightly. Season the chicken with salt and place them on a broiler rack. Brush generously with the glaze and cook under the preheated broiler for 7 minutes. Turn the chicken over, brush generously with the glaze and broil for an additional 3-4 minutes, or until the chicken is completely cooked through. Serve immediately.
We like to have steamed broccoli and brown rice. By the way, you could use this glaze with chicken on the grill as well. Simple and tasty ;)
Looking forward to seeing your "You know you're a mom..." posts!
