Sweet Thai Chicken

If you love sweet tangy chicken you will enjoy this dish. If you want sauce to go over the rice as well I suggest doubling the sauce. Hope you enjoy!

Ingredients

• 1/4 cup packed brown sugar
• canola or olive oil, for cooking
• 1 lb. chicken breast or thighs, cut into bit-sized pieces
• 1 tbsp. fish sauce
• 2-3 cloves of garlic, crushed
• 2 tsp. grated fresh ginger
• pinch red pepper flakes
• steamed rice for serving

Directions

• In small saucepan, combine the brown sugar with 1/3 cup water and bring to a simmer. Cook, swirling the pan often, until the mixture bubbles and thickens to the consistency of runny syrup, about 5 minutes
• Meanwhile, heat a drizzle of oil in a large, heavy skillet set over medium-high heat. Cook the chicken pieces, stirring often, until browned on all sides
• Stir in fish sauce, garlic, ginger and red pepper flakes into the brown sugar mixture, and pour it over the chicken
• Continue to cook, stirring, until the chicken has cooked through and it is sticky and glazed.
• Serve immediately, with steamed rice

Serves 4-6 (in our house it serves 2)
