Easter dinner guests love to eat this ham meal. When it finally vanished, everyone kept going back. They adored this glaze, which I actually obtained from a church member.

Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 onion, chopped
- 4 skinless, boneless chicken breast halves
- 3 tablespoons ketchup
- 3 tablespoons white sugar
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon ground black pepper
Instructions
- Warm oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Sauté onion in oil until translucent, 3 to 4 minutes.
- Add chicken to onion in the skillet; cook until chicken is lightly browned, 1 to 2 minutes per side.
- Combine ketchup, sugar, soy sauce, lemon juice, and pepper in a bowl; mix well. Pour over chicken; bring to a boil, then reduce heat.
- Cover and simmer until chicken is no longer pink in the center and the juices run clear, 25 to 35 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).

Easy and excellent. I made as is, but increased the sauce by 1.5. Perfect amount for us.
I made it as directed nice but very mild
Very quick and easy. I didn’t have lemon so I just left it out, and I added some green and red peppers, flavor was still very tasty. Kids ate it and asked for seconds.
Family loved it! No changes necessary. I used thighs instead of breasts since that’s what was thawed, but I’ll use breasts next time.
Used chicken tenderloins. It was wonderful and so easy. Ate w/rice and sauteed vegies from the garden.

We really like this recipe. I do triple the sauce though. Love the sauce! Thanks to whoever came up with this one.
Family favorite! It has such a great taste. I was very shocked when it said ketchup, but it is great dish for anyone.
I always make an AR.com recipe first time per instructions out of sincere respect to the recipe creator. I saw right away I would have to double the sauce–which was so yummy, that I abandoned a moment of caution and added another round to my doubled sauce—which kinda had for me a “Polynesian” kind of flavor, where some pineapple chunks would nicely suit it; I’ll give that a try next time—thank you, Anny!!
Really quick and easy and do make the extra sauce as other reviewers have said.
I’ve been making this recipe for more than 25 years and it’s great! I originally found the recipe on the back of a bag of frozen chicken breasts. Preparation is the same, but increase cook time to 45 minutes. It’s a staple in my house.
I followed this recipe exactly and it was very bad. WAAAAAAAY TOO MUCH PEPPER.
It is really easy. I have all the ingredients at home so I decided to try it. It was good. Even my sister said so
Amazing!!!! Love this recipe.added some honey while it simmered n it was great!will try this again
If you double up, don’t make the mistake I did and only use a small amount of soy sauce. I doctored it enough to be edible, but am not impressed. I’ll stick with my usual honey garlic chicken over rice.
Delicious, quick and my whole family loved it
Chose this recipe, because I needed something in a hurry. I’m so glad I did! My family loved it! I served it on rice. Delicious! I will double the sauce next time.
This recipe was great and easy to follow. The chicken comes out moist and tender and the sauce is very flavorful. I took the recommendations of previous comments and doubled the sauce, which was just the right amount. Also, used tomato sauce instead of ketchup.
Easy breezy yummy in my tummy! This one will be repeated!!! ??????????
Yum and SOoo easy! My husband loved it!!!!
It had a good taste – I liked the sauce and I doubled most things, except the sugar – used 4 tblsp Two thumbs up !
