Ingredients
Sauce:
1/3 cup honey
2 Tbsp soy sauce
1 Tbsp rice vinegar
1 tsp sriracha
2 tsp toasted sesame oil
1 Tbsp cornstarch
Chicken:
2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
1 tsp salt
1/2 tsp black pepper
1/2 tsp garlic powder
2 Tbsp all-purpose flour
3 Tbsp olive oil
2 Tbsp butter
4 cloves garlic, minced
2 green onions, sliced
Instructions
Combine the honey, soy sauce, rice vinegar, sriracha, toasted sesame oil, and cornstarch in a small bowl to make the sauce. Set it aside.
Cut the chicken breasts into small 1/2 inch pieces. Season with salt, black pepper, and garlic powder. Toss the chicken in flour until coated.
Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and add 2 Tbsp of oil. Once hot, cook half of the chicken until browned on all sides and cooked through. Remove and set aside. Repeat with the remaining chicken.
In the same skillet, add butter, reduce heat to medium-low, and sauté the minced garlic for 30-60 seconds.
Stir the sauce again and pour it into the skillet with garlic. Scrape up any browned bits and let it simmer for 2 minutes to thicken.
Add the cooked chicken back to the skillet and stir until evenly coated. Cook for 1-2 more minutes to heat through.
Remove from heat, top with green onions, and enjoy!
Notes
Use low-sodium soy sauce to control saltiness.
Adjust Sriracha to your spice preference.
Don’t overcrowd the pan while cooking chicken.
Ensure chicken is fully thawed if using frozen.
Tamari is a gluten-free soy sauce alternative.
