1 cup honey
1/2 cup soy sauce
1 clove garlic, chopped
2 TBSP ketchup
salt & pepper to taste
DIRECTIONS
Heat oven to 375.
Place chicken in glass baking dish. Sprinkle with salt & pepper.
Whisk together other ingredients to make the sauce.
Pour over chicken.

Basic Cheese Pizza Recipe
I have never liked many homemade pizzas. This pizza dough is AWESOME! It tastes similar to Pizza Huts Pan Crust Pizza, my favorite!! The sauce was okay, need to tweak it a bit to make it better.
INGREDIENTS
1 pkg dry yeast

2. Stir to dissolve yeast and let "bloom" for 15 minutes
3. Stir in 1 cup flour, add salt, then stir in another cup of flour
4. Dump mixture onto kneading board and work in the last cup of flour; kneading until dough is soft and elastic, not sticky. Form dough into ball. (I also added some parmesan cheese, oregano and garlic powder in this step!!!)
5. In another bowl pour in the olive oil and spread around
6. Coat dough in oil and cover bowl with damp cloth. Let rise for 40 minutes
