I love a recipe that can put dinner on the table quickly without sacrificing flavor. This sweet and saucy dish does just that with ingredients you probably already have on hand! —Kallee Krong-Mccreery, Escondido, California


Test Kitchen tips
  • Flattening the chicken before it cooks helps it cook quickly and evenly.
  • When flattening the chicken, cover the meat with plastic wrap and use the flat side of a meat mallet. If you don’t have a meat mallet, use a rolling pin.
  • You don’t have to go crazy with stirring the sauce while it cooks in the microwave. We stirred it twice and got a nice, thick glaze.
