I can’t remember where this “chicken hurry” recipe originally came from, but I’ve changed quite a bit anyway. It’s so EASY and FAST, though, I knew you would love that, since “busy” seems to describe most of us these days!

Chicken – you can use any chicken pieces you’d like, but I used 2-3 pounds of boneless, skinless thin breasts – try to get them from a farm with chickens out on pasture and not given hormones.
3/4 c. organic ketchup (all non-organic have high fructose corn syrup)
1/4 c. water
1/3 c. organic evaporated cane juice sugar (or honey, or I’ll bet maple syrup would be yummy, too.)
1 t. dried onion – I use organic (or fresh onion, however much you’d like – I was in a hurry, so I used the dried.)
1-2 T. onion powder to taste – I use organic for this, too (the original recipe called for onion soup mix instead of these last two ingredients, but those packets are all full of MSG!)

Place chicken in buttered baking pan. Mix the last 5 ingredients in a bowl and spread over the chicken. Bake at 350* until done. Mine took about 45 minutes, but if your pieces are thicker or you are using chicken with bones, it may take longer.

The key to this recipe is cooking the chicken just long enough to make sure it’s done, but no longer – then it’s still moist and flavorful instead of drying out.
