I loved the flavors of honey and soy sauce!! Instead of baking it in the oven, to speed things up, I cooked the chicken in a little olive oil on top of the stove, then mixed it with the sauce and baked it in the oven for about 10 minutes. Yum!! :-)

This is yummy, loved the flavors of the Honey, Soy Sauce and lemon gave it an oriental touch. I did do just 2 chicken breast, otherwise followed the recipe. My DH Loved the sauce with chicken. I will be making this again. Thanks Evelyn.

This is very nicely flavoured chicken. The sauce is a bit thin and didn't stick to the chicken as much as some do. I did find that basting it as I took it out of the oven and letting it rest for several minutes did allow the sauce to get a bit thicker and stickier. Thanks Ev, for a very good dinner!

We really enjoyed this recipe. I had to make one adjustment, that being I substituted orange juice for the lemon juice when I realized I had no lemons or juice. This was made for ZTW3.
