Ingredients
- 1 1/2 lbs. chicken breast (cut into bite-size pieces)
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/4 cup cornstarch
- 2 Tablespoons olive oil
- 4 Tablespoons butter
- 3 garlic cloves (minced)
- 1/3 cup honey
- 2 Tablespoons fresh lemon juice
- 1 Tablespoon soy sauce
- Fresh Oregano or Italian Parsley (chopped for garnish)
Instructions
- Start by cutting the chicken into bite-size pieces. Pat dry with a paper towel. Sprinkle with salt, pepper, and garlic powder. Place the cornstarch in a bowl and toss the chicken in cornstarch and coat well.
- Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add oil. Cook chicken for 8-10 minutes.
- Add butter, garlic, honey, lemon juice, and soy sauce in the pan. Let cook and thicken for about 5 minutes. * If you want a thicker sauce, you may remove the chicken from the pan and cook the sauce for 5 minutes and then add the chicken and toss together.
- Sprinkle with fresh oregano or parsley and serve. May drizzle with more honey when serving.
Equipments used:
Notes
- Chicken Breast -- I suggest using boneless, skinless chicken breast or thighs, cut into bite-size pieces.
- Cornstarch -- this is what helps the sauce adhere to the chicken and also gives it a slightly crispy coating. You may use flour instead.
- Garlic Powder -- also called granulated garlic. May substitute garlic salt for the garlic powder but just omit the salt above.
- Honey -- use a regular, pure runny type of honey in this honey glazed chicken recipe.
- Lemon Juice -- I suggest using freshly squeezed lemon juice for the freshest flavor.
- Soy Sauce -- may use regular soy sauce or gluten-free tamari sauce.
