- 1/2 cup honey
- 1/4 cup soy sauce

1. Sprinkle garlic on chicken. Brown chicken in skillet just until lightly brown.
2. In a bowl mix wine, honey and soy sauce. Pour on chicken. 
3. Simmer for about 45 minutes to an hour until chicken is cooked through. 


This week I also grilled some salmon that my Mom had given me. I think I drive my parents crazy when I try something new for the first time because I feel like I call them every couple of minutes. The salmon I had was already marinated in something. Sorry I don't know what it was already in. I made it with a baked potato. The salmon was a little dry. I think I over cooked it but I was more worried about it being under cooked.
