I found this recipe from Melanie at mykitchencafe.blogspot.com, she got the recipe from Kristin at efnrecipes.blogspot.com. It really looked like something my family would enjoy, and they did. I doubled the sauce as suggested in the recipe. It was a little strong on the lemon side for me. I think next time I’ll double the sauce and only use 3 Tbsp lemon juice. I also want to try the recipe and substitute orange juice in place of the lemon. When I do that, I think I’ll use the whole 6 Tbsp of juice and maybe throw in a little garlic and red pepper flakes. I’m hoping it will be similar to orange chicken. Thanks to Melanie and Kristin for sharing this recipe.
Honey Glazed Chicken
from Kristin E.
2 lbs of diced uncooked chicken breast
1/3 cup flour
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
Salt and pepper to taste
4 TB butter
1/4 cup honey
3 TB lemon juice
2 TB soy sauce
1/2 tsp. ground ginger
Heat oven to 350. In a shallow dish combine the flower and seasonings. Dip each piece of chicken in flour mixture and coat evenly.Melt 2 TB butter in a shallow baking dish, large enough to accommodate chicken in a single layer. Arrange chicken in pan and bake uncovered for 30 minutes at 350 degrees.Meanwhile, in a small saucepan, melt remaining butter and add honey, lemon juice, soy sauce and ginger.After chicken has baked the 30 minutes, turn each piece over and pour sauce mixture evenly over chicken. Bake another 30 to 40 minutes basting frequently. Serve over rice. I usually double the sauce ingredients to make more to serve over the rice
Not sure what I did wrong but this did not come out at all. The flour made the chicken mushy and the sauce was runny and not sticky on the chicken. What could of happened here?

I doubled the sauce and made it with orange juice & added the garlic & red pepper like you suggested. We loved it! In fact, my super-picky eater asked for seconds & thirds and has requested it for his birthday dinner. Thank you so much for another great recipe!
