I’m always looking for recipes that are ridicoulsously easy. And, yet, still get me excited about eating dinner. Well, this Sweet Asian Chicken is one of those!

It’s easy. Its chicken and a sauce. And it’s versatile. You can bake it or stir fry it. Don’t want to heat up your house? Then grill it or throw it in the slow cooker. One of the best parts is that its freezer-friendly. I like it so much that I’ll make 2-3 batches of it and always have something on hand for dinner. Could not be easier!
