⅓ cup ketchup
⅓ cup honey
6 cloves garlic minced
2 tablespoons cornstarch
2 tablespoons water use cold water, as hot water will cause it to clump up

Notes

Make sure that the chicken is fully cooked through. If you have an instant-read thermometer, it should register at 165°F.
Add veggies to this dish to make it a complete meal. Diced bell peppers or carrots would go great. Add them in along with the other ingredients.
