Ingredients
1.5 lbs chicken breasts, cut into bite-sized pieces
3 tbsp honey
4 cloves garlic, minced
2 tbsp soy sauce (low sodium)
1 tbsp apple cider vinegar
1 tbsp olive oil
1/2 tsp ginger powder
Optional garnish: sesame seeds and sliced green onions
Instructions
Prepare the sauce by whisking together the honey, minced garlic, soy sauce, apple cider vinegar, and ginger powder in a small bowl.
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
Add the chicken pieces in a single layer and cook for 5-7 minutes, turning occasionally, until golden brown and cooked through.
Pour the sauce mixture over the chicken.
Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer for 3-5 minutes until the sauce bubbles and thickens into a glossy, sticky coating.
Toss the chicken to ensure every piece is coated and remove from heat.
Garnish with sesame seeds and sliced green onions before serving.
Notes
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in a pan with a splash of water to loosen the glaze. Use chicken thighs for even tender results. You can also toss in steamed vegetables like broccoli to make it a complete meal.
