Quick and Easy Chicken

I love this chicken! The first time I made it, it had a spicy after taste. My husband, who loves spicy food, loved it! I thought it was good, but I didn't dare give it to my kids. They don't do that well with spicy food. The version I am sharing with you today is the one that I gave to my kids. It is sweet and savory without the extra kick. If you would like to try the extra kick at the end, just add 1 1/2 teaspoons of ground black pepper to the sauce. I know that sounds like it wouldn't really add any kick because it's just pepper, but trust me it really does. However you decide to make it, just make it, you'll love it!
