Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 2 skinless, boneless chicken breast halves, cut into bite-size pieces
Glaze Ingredients:
- ¼ cup honey
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 ½ tablespoons olive oil
Seasoning Ingredients:
- ⅛ teaspoon red pepper flakes
Instructions
- Whisk ¼ cup honey, 2 tablespoons soy sauce, and ⅛ teaspoon red pepper flakes in a small bowl until completely blended.
- Pour 1 ½ tablespoons olive oil into a skillet and heat over medium-high heat for 2 minutes until shimmering.
- Add 2 chicken breast halves cut into bite-size pieces to the hot skillet, spreading them in a single layer so each piece touches the surface.
- Cook the chicken pieces for 4-5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until golden brown on all sides and internal temperature reaches 165°F.
- Drizzle the prepared honey mixture over the chicken, tossing gently to ensure each piece gets an even coating.
- Continue cooking for an additional 2 minutes, allowing the glaze to caramelize and thicken around the chicken.
- Remove the skillet from heat and let the chicken rest for 1 minute to absorb the final layer of glaze.
- Transfer the glazed chicken to a serving plate, spooning any remaining sauce from the pan over the top.
Notes
- Choose boneless, skinless chicken thighs for maximum flavor and juiciness.
- Adjust red pepper flakes to control the heat level that works for your taste preferences.
- Let the chicken rest for a few minutes after cooking to help the glaze settle and flavors absorb.
- For a lower-carb option, substitute honey with a sugar-free alternative like monk fruit sweetener.
