Honey Chicken

Prep Steps

• 1 1/2 lbs boneless, skinless chicken breasts into bite-size pieces {do:cut}
• 1 clove garlic {do:mince}

Season the Chicken

Season evenly on all sides...

• 1 1/2 lbs boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into bite-size pieces
• 1 tsp kosher salt{tip:We test with Morton kosher salt. Using table salt? Use about 3/4 as much. Diamond Crystal? Use about 1 1/2 times as much.}
• 1 tsp black pepper
• 1 tsp granulated garlic

Transfer to a bowl and toss until every piece is coated...

• 1/3 cup cornstarch

Brown the Chicken

In a large skillet over medium-high heat, heat...

• 2 tbsp olive oil

Cook the chicken in two batches, keeping the pieces from sticking together, until browned on all sides and cooked through, 5–6 minutes per batch. Set aside.

The Honey Glaze

In the same pan, combine...

• 1/3 cup honey
• 1 tbsp soy sauce
• 1 clove garlic, minced
• 1 tbsp apple cider vinegar
• 1 tsp ground ginger
• 1/4 tsp red pepper flakes

Bring to a boil for 1 minute, then return the chicken to the pan and toss until thoroughly coated.

Note: Glaze too thin? Stir 1/2 tsp cornstarch into 1 tsp water and add it to the pan until the glaze clings to the chicken.

Serve over rice.
