Description
Honey garlic chicken bites is the easiest dinner to throw together! Make it all in one skillet and let the flavors blow your mind!
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 lb (450g) boneless, skinless chicken breast, cut into 1-inch cubes
- 2 teaspoons cornstarch (optional)
- Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
- 4 cloves garlic, finely minced
- 1/4 cup honey
- 3 tablespoons low-sodium chicken stock
- 1 or 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon hot sauce (Sriracha or preferred brand, optional)
- 1 teaspoon red chili pepper flakes, for garnish
- 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley, for garnish
Instructions
- Add the chicken breast cubes to a large salad bowl with cornstarch, salt, and pepper. Mix to evenly coat all the chicken pieces.
- Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Melt the butter into the oil, then add the chicken cubes. Cook on all sides until golden brown, about 6-8 minutes. Work in batches if needed to prevent overcrowding.
- Once the chicken is cooked, add the garlic, honey, chicken stock, lemon juice, and hot sauce (if using). Stir well to coat the chicken. Let the sauce simmer for a few minutes until it thickens and clings to the chicken.
- Garnish with chopped parsley and red chili pepper flakes. Serve over rice and enjoy!
Notes
- Cornstarch helps create a slightly crispy coating on the chicken but is optional.
- Adjust the amount of lemon juice and hot sauce according to your taste preference.
- This dish pairs well with steamed rice or vegetables.
