Honey garlic chicken made easy!

Ingredients

• 2 teaspoons of your oil of choice (I’d recommend avocado or olive)
• 1 ½ pounds boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into small cubes (about ½ inch)
• Salt and black pepper (to taste - don’t get crazy)
• 2-3 tablespoons honey
• 2-3 tablespoons low-sodium soy sauce
• 3 cloves garlic, minced
• ¼ teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional, adjust for heat)

For serving (optional):

Best served with your choice of rice, made the way you prefer! Adding a little green onion and sesame seeds hits the spot.

Instructions

1. Heat your oil of choice in a skillet on medium-high heat.
2. Lightly season your cubed chicken with salt and pepper and add to the hot skillet for 3-4 minutes. (NOTE: The soy sauce will add plenty of sodium, so don’t go overboard with the salt)
3. While the first side is browning, make your glaze by combining the honey, soy sauce, garlic and red pepper flakes in a small bowl.
4. Turn the chicken pieces over to the other side and add your glaze to the chicken. Cook for another 4-5 minutes.
5. Serve with steamed rice. I like to top mine with green onions and sesame seeds.

Important Things to Keep in Mind:

• To thicken up the glaze, combine 2 tsp of cornstarch with 1 tbsp of water. Add it to the glaze and it should work it’s magic pretty quickly.
• I prefer A LOT of sauce, so I make double the serving of glaze.
• I love a good leftover, but try not to keep it for more than 3-4 days!
• I grew up with six sisters, so if you need to double or triple for your family or for the sake of leftovers, DO YOUR THING!
