Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 2 pounds chicken breasts skinless and boneless, cut into bite-sized pieces
- salt and pepper to tastge
- 3 cloves garlic minced
- ¼ cup honey
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce low sodium
- 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- ½ teaspoon red pepper flakes
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- 2 tablespoons water
- fresh parsley chopped, for garnish
Instructions
- Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken pieces, season with salt and pepper and cook until golden brown and no longer pink in the middle, about 5-6 minutes. Remove chicken and set aside.
- In a bowl, whisk together the honey, soy sauce, rice vinegar, onion powder, and red pepper.
- In the same skillet, lower the heat to medium and add the minced garlic. Cook for about 30 seconds or until fragrant.
- Pour the honey mixture into the skillet with the garlic and bring to a simmer. Mix the cornstarch and water in a small bowl to create a slurry, then pour into the skillet. Stir continuously until the sauce thickens, about 2 minutes.
- Add the chicken back to the skillet and toss to coat with the sauce. Cook for another 1-2 minutes to ensure the chicken is heated through and covered in the glaze.
- Remove from heat and sprinkle with chopped parsley and serve over cooked rice.

Notes
- Cut Uniformly: Ensure your chicken pieces are roughly the same size for even cooking.
- Adjust the Spice: Feel free to tweak the amount of red pepper flakes based on your heat preference.
- Fresh is Best: Use fresh garlic for a more potent and flavorful sauce.
- Watch the Sauce: Keep an eye on the sauce as it simmers to avoid it becoming too thick or burning.
- Garnish Options: Besides parsley, you can garnish with sesame seeds or green onions for an extra pop of color and flavor.
