Honey Garlic Chicken

Honey garlic chicken is one of our favorite Chinese takeout dishes, so of course we had to come up with a version that we could make at home! Our recipe for Honey Garlic Chicken tastes even better than takeout, and there's hardly any work involved 'cause it's made in a slow cooker!

1 green bell pepper, cut into 1-inch chunks

This was a a quick and easy dish to make that my husband and I both enjoyed very much. I just wish that signing up for this site hadn't come with a huge serving of spam from all manner of places, particularly the political newsletters that my unsubscribe requests don't seem to be deterring. This is quite disappointing, as I thought Mr. Food was reputable site.

I apologize for my comments. I'm sure the Test Kitchen has nothing to do with marketing. Loved the recipe and looking forward to finding more!

We had this tonight. Delicious! I like lots of seasoning-had no problem with soy sauce. We eat so much chicken I am so grateful for a new taste treat. Made dinner so easy. Thanks

It was a quick and easy dinner. I will cut back on the soy sauce just a tad. We put in over brown rice and added a side of sauted zucchini and carrots for a complete meal. It is something that we will make again

Did not care for this. Too much soy sauce.

That's always disappointing when you try a recipe and then you end up not liking it. I have found that different brands of soy sauce have different flavors. I always use low sodium soy sauce and that works out just fine with no loss of flavor. I used to buy a cheaper store brand of soy sauce but then I tried the name brand and it really does make a difference. You could always cut back on the soy sauce or substitute half of the soy sauce for rice vinegar and if you need to just increase the honey by a teaspoon. I use recipes just as a guide for inspiration and I often change them around to suit my taste and everyone else's in the family.
