Honey and Ginger Chicken

If you love chicken and are looking for something new, this is a great recipe to try out with your family.  It's easy to make and the marinade is very tasty! For more flavorful chicken, be sure to prepare the sauce a day in advance and marinate overnight. 

Add roasted vegetables and yam fries as side dishes for a well-balanced, healthy, and completely homemade meal!
