Ingredients
– 1½ pounds boneless skinless chicken breast, cut into ¾-inch pieces
– ½ teaspoon kosher salt
– ½ teaspoon ground black pepper
– ⅓ cup all-purpose flour
– 3 tablespoons olive oil
– 5 medium cloves garlic, minced
– ½ cup honey
– 3 tablespoons water
– 3 tablespoons soy sauce
– cooked rice for serving (optional)
– green onion for serving (optional)
– Thai basil for serving (optional)
– sesame seeds for serving (optional)
Instructions
1-First, place the cubed chicken in a large bowl and season it with salt and pepper, then add flour and toss until evenly coated. This step helps create that desirable crispy exterior.
2-Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat and add the chicken in a single layer for even cooking.
3-Cook the chicken for 6-8 minutes, turning occasionally until it’s fully cooked through, then stir in the minced garlic for an extra minute to release its aroma.
4-In a small bowl, whisk together honey, water, and soy sauce, then pour this mixture over the chicken and stir to coat everything nicely.
5-Bring the sauce to a boil and let it cook for 2-3 minutes until it’s thick and bubbling; if you want it thicker, mix 1 tablespoon cornstarch with 2 tablespoons water and stir it in.
6-Serve over rice with veggies and garnishes like green onions or sesame seeds.
