I think telling Bernie and Her that you're not available any more is a really good thing. No need to let their(his) insanity infect you again.

You want to share that garlic chicken recipe? Them's my two favorite foods! *g*

Thank you. :) Sometimes I need a little positive reinforcement....

The recipe was very simple.

2 cloves garlic, minced
1/4 cup soy sauce
1/4 cup water
1/4 cup honey
1 tbsp vegetable oil
dash red or black pepper (to taste)
1 tbsp cornstarch
1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breast, cutinto strips
1 tbsp vegetable oil
1/4 cup chopped green onions

Mix everything down to and including the cornstartch to create a marinade. Stir in chicken and mix to coat. Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, stirring once or twice.

In large skillet, heat remaining oil. Using slotted spoon, transfer chicken to skillet. Stir-fry about 5 minutes or until chicken is cooked through, depending on the size of your strips. Add reserved marinade; continue to cook and stir about 30 seconds until thickenened. Remove to platter, garnish with green onion.

Because it's what I had on hand, I used thawed, pre-cooked chicken strips. Of course the precooked chicken didn't soak up the flavor the way raw meat would have, but the marinade made a lovely sauce anyhow. I also added steamed broccoli to the pan when heating the chicken with the marinade.
