Ingredients

The following ingredients have 4 Servings
  • 2 pounds boneless skinless chicken breasts (cut into bite-size pieces)
  • 2 tsp salt
  • 2 tsp pepper
  • 1 tsp pepper
  • 2 tbsp garlic powder
  • 2 tbsp butter, (divided)
  • 1½ tbsp sesame oil ((or olive oil))
  • ½ cup finely chopped onion
  • 2 tbsp minced garlic
  • 1⅛ cup honey ((1 cup plus 2 tablespoons))
  • 2 tbsp chili sauce
  • 3 tbsp soy sauce
  • Green onions, (chopped, for garnish)
  • Sesame seeds, (for garnish)
  • Cooked rice, (for serving)

Instruction

  • Sprinkle the chicken with salt, pepper, and garlic powder.
  • In a large skillet, over medium heat, melt 1 tablespoon of butter. Add half of the chicken and cook until it begins to turn golden brown on all sides, but not fully cooked through. Remove chicken from the pan onto a plate lined with a paper towel and keep warm. Drain the skillet. Using the remaining 1 tablespoon of butter, repeat these steps for the remaining chicken.
  • To the same large skillet, heat the sesame oil. Add onion and saute until translucent.
  • Add the minced garlic. Saute for one minute more.
  • Add honey, chili sauce, and soy sauce. Bring to a low boil and simmer for 15-20 minutes until the sauce has thickened and reduced enough to coat a spoon.
  • Return the chicken to the pan, stirring to coat the chicken with the sauce, and simmer for 7-12 minutes, or until the chicken is fully cooked through.
  • Serve the chicken over rice. Sprinkle the chicken with the chopped green onions and sesame seeds, if desired.
