Ingredients
  

Main
  • 1 pound chicken breast cut into bite-sized pieces
  • 1/4 cup honey
  • 1/4 cup soy sauce
  • 3 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon cornstarch optional, for thickening
  • 1 tablespoon sesame seeds for garnish
  • 2 green onions sliced (for garnish)

Equipment

  • Large skillet or frying pan
  • Measuring cups and spoons
  • Sharp knife
  • Cutting board
  • Spatula or wooden spoon

Method
 

  1. Start by cutting the chicken breasts into bite-sized pieces.
  2. In a small bowl, whisk together honey, soy sauce, and minced garlic.
  3. Place a large skillet over medium-high heat and add olive oil.
  4. Add the chicken pieces to the skillet in a single layer. Cook for about 5-7 minutes until browned and cooked through, stirring occasionally.
  5. Pour the honey garlic mixture over the cooked chicken and stir to coat all the pieces evenly.
  6. If you prefer a thicker sauce, mix cornstarch with a tablespoon of water and add it to the skillet. Cook for an additional minute until the sauce thickens.
  7. Once the chicken is well-coated in sauce, remove it from heat and sprinkle sesame seeds and sliced green onions on top.
  8. Serve the honey garlic chicken hot over rice or noodles.

Notes

For extra flavor, marinate the chicken in the sauce for 30 minutes before cooking.
