Honey Garlic Chicken
Ingredients
Main
- 2 to 2½ lbs chicken breast, (2 large or 4 medium boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into 1-inch pieces)*
- ½ cup corn starch
- 1 cup filtered water
- ⅓ cup low sodium soy sauce, *or gluten-free soy sauce
- ⅓ cup honey, or more to taste
- 1 to 2 Tbsp Sriracha sauce, or added to desired spice level*
- 3 cloves garlic, (1 Tbsp minced)
- 2 Tbsp corn starch
- 2 Tbsp cold water
- Sesame seeds and chives, optional garnish
Instructions
- 1
In a medium saucepan, combine water, soy sauce, honey, sriracha, and minced garlic. Set the saucepan over medium heat and bring the mixture to a boil, stirring occasionally.
- 2
In a small dish, stir together 2 tablespoons of cornstarch and 2 tablespoons of cold water until dissolved. Pour the cornstarch slurry into the saucepan and stir until the sauce thickens. Reduce the heat to low.
- 3
Add the chicken pieces into a large zip-top bag and sprinkle the top with cornstarch. Seal the bag and toss the chicken inside until evenly coated with cornstarch.
- 4
Set a large non-stick pan over medium heat and lightly coat the bottom with oil. Add the chicken in a single layer and sauté for a few minutes on each side until cooked through. Avoid crowding the pan and cook in batches or use two skillets to speed up the process.
- 5
Once the chicken is cooked, turn off the heat. Pour the sauce over the chicken and stir to coat. Season with salt and pepper to taste, if needed.
- 6
Serve over white rice, if desired, and garnish with sesame seeds and sliced green onions.
