1/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons Progresso™ chicken broth (from 32-oz carton)
1/4 cup honey
1/4 cup soy sauce
1 tablespoon unseasoned rice vinegar
2 teaspoons toasted sesame oil
1-inch piece fresh gingerroot, peeled and grated

This recipe was easy to follow and the chicken turned out great. The sauce was a bit too sweet for my taste, but that's easily fixed. Overall, a good recipe that I will definitely make again.
