Ingredients

  • 1 ½ pounds boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • ½ teaspoon salt and black pepper each
  • 3 tablespoons cornstarch
  • 1 tablespoon vegetable oil or as needed
  • green onions thinly sliced for garnish
Sauce
  • ⅓ cup honey
  • 2 tablespoons chicken broth or water
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 2 teaspoons grated fresh ginger
  • 2 teaspoons cornstarch
  • 1 teaspoon Sriracha or to taste
  • 3 cloves garlic minced

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Dab the chicken dry with a paper towel and cut into bite-size pieces. Place them in a medium bowl and season with salt & pepper. Add the cornstarch and toss to combine.
  2. In a small bowl, whisk the honey, chicken broth, soy sauce, ginger, cornstarch, sriracha, and garlic until combined.
  3. Heat oil in a large skillet over medium high heat. Add the chicken in small batches and cook until no pink remains, about 5-6 minutes. Transfer to a dish to keep warm.
  4. Whisk the sauce ingredients (as the cornstarch may have settled to the bottom) and add to the same skillet. Bring to a simmer over medium heat while whisking and let simmer for 1 minute.
  5. Add the chicken to the sauce and stir to coat. Garnish with green onions.

Notes

  • Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days.
