All of the raw ingredients cook together, marinating in a delicious sweet-and-sour sauce, creating a dinner that is absolutely incredible. This dish features juicy chicken and rice in a sweet and savory sauce that is insanely easy to make.

Instructions:
1. Preheat oven to 425. Spray a 9x13 baking dish with cooking spray.
2. In the 9x13 pan, whisk together soy sauce, garlic, brown sugar, and chicken broth to form your sauce.
