Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 2 pounds chicken breast Cut into bite-sized pieces
  • 1/4 cup honey For sweetness
  • 1/4 cup soy sauce For umami flavor
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced Adds flavor
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil For cooking
  • to taste Salt and pepper For seasoning
  • as needed Green onions for garnish Fresh touch for serving

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Rinse the chicken breasts under cold water, then pat them dry with a paper towel. Cut the chicken into bite-sized pieces.
Making the Sauce
  1. In a medium bowl, combine honey, soy sauce, and minced garlic. Whisk them together until well-blended.
Cooking the Chicken
  1. In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the chicken pieces and season with salt and pepper. Cook for about 6-8 minutes until the chicken is golden brown and cooked through, stirring occasionally.
  2. Once the chicken is cooked, pour the honey garlic sauce into the skillet. Stir to coat the chicken evenly and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until the sauce thickens and becomes sticky.
Serving
  1. Remove the skillet from heat and transfer the chicken to a serving platter. Garnish with chopped green onions.
  2. Serve this dish over rice or vegetables.

Notes

For lower sugar, use unsweetened apple sauce instead of honey. Ensure to not overcook the chicken to prevent it from drying out. Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
