Cook Time: 10 minutes
Total Time: 20 minutes

Ingredients

  • 2 pounds boneless skinless chicken breasts, cubed
  • Salt and pepper
  • ¾ cup low-sodium chicken broth
  • 6 garlic cloves, finely minced or pressed through a garlic press
  • 2 tablespoons honey
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 1 teaspoon cornstarch
  • Pinch red pepper flakes
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • Hot cooked rice or quinoa and edamame, for serving (optional)

Instructions 

  • Lightly season the chicken pieces with salt and pepper.
  • Whisk together the broth, garlic, honey, soy sauce, cornstarch, and red pepper flakes. Set aside.
  • In a large, nonstick 12-inch skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat until hot and rippling.
  • Add the chicken in a single layer and cook, without stirring, for a minute or two until the chicken starts to turn golden on the side in contact with the hot skillet. Flip the chicken pieces.
  • Whisk the sauce to recombine and stir it into the skillet; bring the mixture to a simmer.
  • Cook for 2-3 minutes until the sauce has thickened slightly and the chicken is cooked through.
  • Serve over hot, cooked rice or quinoa and edamame (optional, but delicious).
