Sweet Asian Chicken in 30 Minutes

sweet asian chicken
Sweet Asian chicken is a great mixture of spices and chicken. The Asian flavours truly shine through in the recipe. As always, I like it served up over hot rice. Don't let the simplicity of the dish surprise you, however. The outcome is really quite remarkable. Believe me, your family and friends will love it.
