Ingredients
  

  • 1 tsp Olive Oil Can substitute with canola oil
  • 1.5 lbs Chicken Breast Cut into small cubes (about 1/2 inch)
  • Salt & Pepper
  • 3 tbsp Honey
  • 3 tbsp Soy Sauce
  • 3 cloves Garlic Add more or less for desired flavor.
  • 1/4 tsp Red Pepper Flakes *OPTIONAL* add more or less for desired flavor.

Instructions
 

  • Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
  • Lightly season the cubed chicken with salt and pepper. (Go easy because the soy sauce has plenty of sodium.)
  • Add the chicken to the skillet and brown on one side, about 3-4 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, make the glaze. Whisk the honey, soy sauce, garlic and red pepper flakes, if using, in a small bowl until well combined.
  • Add the sauce to the pan and toss to coat the chicken pieces. Cook until chicken is cooked through, 4-5 more minutes.
  • Serve with steamed rice and top with green onions, sesame seeds and a squeeze of lime juice, if desired.

Notes

Be careful not to overcook the chicken. 
You could substitute boneless, skinless chicken thighs in place of the chicken breasts if you prefer, but the cooking time will be longer.
To make a complete meal, just add some steamed rice and a veggie.
