Ingredients
  

  • 1- 1 1/2 lbs. chicken breasts or thighs, cut into bite sized pieces
  • 1 tbsp cornstarch
  • 2 tsp olive oil
  • 2 tbsp butter salted or unsalted
  • 1 tbsp fresh garlic, minced
  • 2 tbsp honey
  • 2 tbsp soy sauce regular or low sodium
  • red pepper flakes, cilantro, scallions for serving optional

Instructions
 

  • In a medium bowl, toss chicken with corn starch. Set aside.
  • In a large skillet on high, heat olive oil. When oil is hot, add chicken. Spread chicken out in an even layer the best you can. Cook for 2-3 minutes without touching the chicken so you get a nice, browned crust on the chicken.
  • After 2-3 minutes (check for browning), flip chicken and cook 1-2 minutes more (without touching the chicken!) until the other side is nicely browned.
  • Reduce heat to medium and add garlic and butter to the pan and cook 1-2 minutes more, stirring often.
  • Then, add honey and butter. Cook another 1-2 minutes, stirring well until chicken is coated in the sauce and sauce begins to thicken.
  • Serve over rice, topped with cilantro, scallions or red pepper flakes if you like!
