Ingredients
  

  • ⅓ cup Honey
  • 2 tablespoon Soy Sauce
  • 1 tablespoon Rice Vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon Sriracha
  • 2 teaspoon Toasted Sesame Oil
  • 1 tablespoon Cornstarch
  • 2 pieces Boneless, Skinless Chicken Breasts
  • 1 teaspoon Salt
  • ½ teaspoon Black Pepper
  • ½ teaspoon Garlic Powder
  • 2 tablespoon All-Purpose Flour
  • 3 tablespoon Olive Oil
  • 2 tablespoon Butter
  • 4 cloves Garlic, minced
  • 2 Green Onions, sliced

Instructions
 

  • Combine the honey, soy sauce, rice vinegar, sriracha, toasted sesame oil, and cornstarch in a small bowl to make the sauce and set it aside.
  • Cut the chicken into ½ inch pieces and season with salt, pepper, and garlic powder. Toss the chicken pieces in flour until evenly coated.
  • Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and add 2 tablespoons of olive oil. Cook half of the chicken until browned and cooked through. Remove from the skillet and set aside. Repeat with remaining chicken.
  • In the same skillet, add the butter and lower heat to medium-low. Sauté the minced garlic for 30-60 seconds until fragrant but not burnt.
  • Pour the prepared sauce into the skillet, stirring and scraping any browned bits. Let it simmer for 2 minutes until thickened slightly.
  • Add the cooked chicken back into the skillet, stirring to coat with sauce. Cook for 1-2 more minutes until heated through.
  • Remove from heat and top with sliced green onions. Serve over rice.

Notes

  • Use fresh garlic and quality chicken for the best flavor.
  • Adjust the sriracha based on your spice preference.
  • For a crispier texture, let the chicken rest after coating in flour before cooking.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container and reheat gently.
