15-Minute Honey Garlic Chicken

Steps

1. 1

   Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.

2. 2

   Lightly season the cubed chicken with salt and pepper. (Go easy because the soy sauce has plenty of sodium.)

3. 3

   Add the chicken to the skillet and brown on one side, about 3-4 minutes.

   Start 3-minute timer
4. 4

   Meanwhile, make the glaze. Whisk the honey, soy sauce, garlic and red pepper flakes, if using, in a small bowl until well combined.

5. 5

   Turn the chicken pieces over to begin cooking on the other side.

6. 6

   Add the sauce to the pan and toss to coat the chicken pieces.

7. 7

   Cook until chicken is cooked through, 4-5 more minutes. (The small pieces cook quickly, which is the point, so be careful not to overcook them.)

8. 8

   Serve with steamed rice and top with green onions, sesame seeds and a squeeze of lime juice, if desired.
