Ingredients
  

  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 2 pounds boneless skinless chicken breasts, cut into bite-sized pieces
  • salt and pepper to taste
  • 3 cloves garlic minced
  • ¼ cup honey
  • 2 tablespoons low-sodium soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • ½ teaspoon red pepper flakes
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch
  • 2 tablespoons water
  • chopped fresh parsley for garnish

Instructions
 

  • Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken pieces, seasoning them with salt and pepper. Cook until the chicken is golden brown and cooked through, approximately 5-6 minutes. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set it aside.
  • In a bowl, combine the honey, soy sauce, rice vinegar, onion powder, and red pepper flakes, whisking well.
  • Reduce the heat to medium and add the minced garlic to the same skillet. Sauté for about 30 seconds until the garlic becomes fragrant.
  • Pour the honey mixture into the skillet with the garlic and let it simmer. Mix the cornstarch and water in a small bowl to form a slurry, then add it to the skillet. Stir constantly until the sauce thickens, which should take about 2 minutes.
  • Return the chicken to the skillet and toss to coat it evenly with the sauce. Cook for an additional 1-2 minutes until the chicken is warmed through and covered with the glaze.
  • Remove from heat, garnish with chopped parsley, and serve over rice.
