15-Minute Honey Garlic Chicken
A quick and delicious honey garlic chicken recipe that comes together in just 15 minutes. Perfect for a fast and flavorful dinner!
Equipment
- Large Skillet
Ingredients
- 2 teaspoons extra-virgin olive oil or canola oil
- 1.5 pounds boneless, skinless chicken breasts cut into small cubes (about ½ inch)
- Salt and black pepper to taste
- 3 tablespoons honey
- 3 tablespoons low-sodium soy sauce
- 3 cloves garlic minced
- 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes optional, adjust for heat
For serving (optional)
- Brown rice
- Sliced green onions
- Sesame seeds
- Chopped peanuts
- Lime wedges to squeeze over chicken
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. The pieces are small so they cook fast. Use low-sodium soy sauce to control sodium levels. Leftovers can be stored for 4-5 days in the fridge.
