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
– green onion for serving
– Thai basil for serving
– sesame seeds for serving
– 2 boneless chicken breasts
– firm tofu for vegans
– gluten-free soy sauce
Instructions
1-First, toss the cubed chicken with salt, pepper, and flour until it’s evenly coated for that crispy texture.
2-Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat and add the chicken in a single layer, cooking for 6 to 8 minutes while turning occasionally until it’s cooked through.
3-Add the minced garlic and cook for an additional minute to bring out its flavor.
4-In a small bowl, whisk together honey, water, and soy sauce, then pour this mixture over the chicken and stir to coat everything well.
5-Bring the sauce to a boil and let it cook for 2 to 3 minutes until it bubbles and thickens naturally.
6-For a thicker sauce, mix 1 tablespoon cornstarch with 2 tablespoons water and stir it gradually into the sauce, cooking until it reaches the desired consistency.
7-Serve immediately with cooked rice and optional garnishes like green onion, Thai basil, and sesame seeds for a complete meal.
