If you are having a craving for Chinese food, this is so what you should replace it with!! My family is obsessed with this meal and pretty sure we can live off Asian Chicken!!! They are simple steps and does not take too long to make!!
*If you want to cut back on a little time, I even cook my chicken in the pan instead of baking it for 15-20 min, but just make sure you drain the juice before adding the garlic and brown sugar!
