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!
