How to Make Honey Garlic Chicken on a Stove Top
Aunt Lou here.
My family loved when I first made this recipe in the crock pot. When I was making this Honey Garlic Chicken on the stove top, Ryder walked by and said, “Mom! That smells heavenly!” That is quite high praise from a 9 year old. lol When Michael tried this, he said, “Wow! You really hit it out of the park with this one.” It is definitely a family favorite. I love that I have the option of making this in my crock pot or on my stove top!
This recipe is super simple to make but takes a little bit of attention when making it on the stove top. Don’t let that scare you away from making this if you are new to cooking. As long as you follow the recipe, this is going to be one that you will want to come back to again and again.
