Sweet Chili Chicken w/ Stir Fry veggies

This was sooo good! Better than take out :-)




 4-6 pieces of chicken (I did 2 leg quarters and it was very saucy)
1 bag of your favorite frozen stir fry veggies
1 tbs of oil
salt and pepper
1- 1 1/2 tbs of corn starch * depends on how much pan drippings you have.
Sauce:
Mix together,
1/4 cup of honey
2 tbs ketchup
1 tbs soy sauce
thumb size amount of minced ginger root
2 garlic cloves minced
1/2 - 1 tbs of chili flakes *depends on your heat preference

Here is what the sauce alone looks like

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees, put 1 tbs of oil in baking dish. Place chicken in baking dish and salt and pepper.
Pour the sauce over the chicken
Bake for 40-45 mins until the chicken looks like below, remove chicken from pan.
Blend the corn starch into the pan drippings to make a sauce like this
Add the stir fry veggies to the pan
Stir the veggies and sauce together and add the chicken back to the pan. Bake for 15- 20 mins more covering with foil to keep chicken from browning further and facilitate steaming of veggies.

Remove the foil and let set for 5 mins. Serve chicken, stir the veggies and sauce and serve as a side dish. I even poured a little sauce over the chicken when serving. It was delish!
