Honey Garlic Chicken

Ingredients

• 4 boneless skinless chicken breasts (sliced into bite-sized pieces)
• 1 teaspoon salt
• ½ teaspoon black pepper
• 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
• 4 cloves garlic (minced)
• ½ cup honey
• ¼ cup soy sauce
• 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
• 1 teaspoon cornstarch
• 1 tablespoon water
• 2 green onions (sliced, for garnish)

Instructions

1. Season 4 boneless skinless chicken breasts (sliced into bite-sized pieces) with 1 teaspoon salt and ½ teaspoon black pepper.
2. Heat 2 tablespoons vegetable oil in a 12-inch skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering. Add the seasoned chicken and cook for 6-8 minutes, stirring occasionally, until golden brown and cooked through.
3. Add 4 cloves garlic (minced) to the skillet and cook for 30 seconds until fragrant, stirring constantly to avoid burning.
4. In a small bowl, mix together ½ cup honey, ¼ cup soy sauce, and 1 tablespoon rice vinegar, then pour the mixture over the chicken in the skillet. Bring to a simmer and let cook for 2-3 minutes to thicken slightly.
5. In another small bowl, combine 1 teaspoon cornstarch with 1 tablespoon water to create a slurry. Stir it into the sauce, cooking for an additional 1-2 minutes until the sauce is glossy and coats the chicken nicely.
6. Remove from heat and garnish with 2 green onions (sliced) before serving.
