As you know, I’m all for creating quick, easy and fabulously delicious recipes and Ginger Glazed Chicken certainly fits the bill! Stir together a few ingredients, pour over chicken and bake. A saucy glaze forms and perfectly flavors the chicken with both sweet and savory notes as it simmers in the oven. Sprinkle with the fresh flavor of cilantro, add a salad and sautéed broccoli and dinner is served!

Hi Eileen, You might be able to substitute honey for the brown sugar but I have not done a run through using honey in this recipe so I cannot guarantee the outcome. Happy cooking! Gwynn
