Too busy to cook? Got a crock pot? Try Honey Garlic Chicken!

Honey Garlic Chicken - 
so good and only 5 ingredients - throw it all in the crock pot, and you're done!


1 1/2 to 2 pounds boneless skinless chicken breasts
3 garlic cloves, minced
1/3 C soy sauce
2/3 C ketchup
1/2 C honey (Lynch Family Farm Honey, of course!)

Put chicken breasts in crock pot, pour all other ingredients over the chicken.

Cook 3-4 hours on high or 5-6 hours on low.

We serve this with corn on the cob, rice or mashed potatoes - yum!

With cooler weather comes colds and allergies - honey can help!

Honey to the rescue!
Did you know that a teaspoon of honey (local - raw is best) and a 1/4 teaspoon of cinnamon will usually knock out a cold within a day or two? Take twice a day for 3 days for best results. Both honey and cinnamon are antiviral, antibacterial, and antifungal. Also knocks bladder/kidney infections, reduces sugar levels, blood pressure, acts as a pain reliever for arthritis. And taking local honey before allergy season can decrease symptoms.
