sweet chili-honey glazed chicken in the crock pot

i am always looking for good asian inspired recipes that i can do easily at home. i found this one a little bit ago and finally got the okay from my husband (he's super picky about food... and he has never been a fan of anything i've made in the crockpot)

sweet chili-honey glazed chicken in the crock pot
adapted from http://realmomkitchen.com/34/honey-glazed-chicken/

2  uncooked chicken breast, cut into bite size pieces
1/4 cup flour
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
Salt and pepper to taste
3 T butter
1/4 cup honey
3 T lemon juice
2 T soy sauce
1/2 tsp. ground ginger ( i plan on using less next time)
1/4 cup thai sweet chili sauce

 In a shallow dish combine the flour and seasonings. Dip each piece of chicken in flour mixture and coat evenly.Melt 2T of the butter in a frying pan. Brown chicken pieces (don't worry about cooking through since it is going to finish cooking in the crockpot). Move chicken to crock pot.

In a small saucepan, melt remaining butter and add honey, lemon juice, soy sauce, thai sweet chili sauce and ginger. When combined, pour over chicken in crock pot and stir.

Cook on low for 4 to 5 hours or high for 2 to 3 hours. Serve over rice or with fried rice (i found a copycat benihana fried rice recipe that i made and my husband LOVED the combination of the two!)
