Sticky Lemon Chicken

First off I am going to apologize for not have pictures of this one. Silly me forgot to charge my camera batteries so you are going to have to trust me on the fact that this was really yummy. I was looking for something new to make with chicken (aren't we always) and I came across a Gordon Ramsey recipe for "Sticky Lemon Chicken". His recipe called for honey and I thought oh good I can use some of that yummy home made honey that a patient gave me.... Yeah could not find the honey, don't remember if it made the move with us. So I improvised and used brown sugar. Next time I will use honey instead as I think it would taste really good with the lemon. Gordon also used a whole cut up chicken, use what ever you have in the house. If you are interested in seeing Gordon's much more involved recipe search "sticky lemon chicken" on youtube.

1 10 oz chicken breast (I always butterfly one breast in half and John and I split it, use how ever much you need and just adjust the ingredients accordingly)
3 tbsp soy sauce
2 tbsp brown sugar
1 tbsp vinegar ( I used malt that's what I had handy)
2 cloves garlic chopped
1/2 lemon juiced 1/2 lemon cut into rings

Season the chicken with salt and pepper, brown in about a tsp of EVOO and remove. Add soy, sugar, vinegar, garlic and lemon juice cook for about 3 minutes until it starts to boil and reduce. Lower heat and add chicken and lemon rings back to sauce. Cook for about 5 minutes turning the chicken a few times. The sauce should be thick and sticky and coat the chicken.
I served this with roasted sweet potatoes and broccoli.
