Ingredients

Scale
  • 1.5 lbs boneless, skinless chicken thighs, cut into 1-inch pieces
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1/2 cup honey
  • 1/4 cup soy sauce
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon grated fresh ginger
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch

  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Cooked rice, for serving
  • Chopped green onions, for garnish

Instructions

  1. Pat the chicken dry with paper towels and season with salt and pepper.
  2. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add chicken and cook until browned on all sides, about 5-7 minutes.
  3. In a small bowl, whisk together honey, soy sauce, minced garlic, and grated ginger.
  4. Pour the honey garlic sauce over the chicken in the skillet. Bring to a simmer.
  5. In another small bowl, whisk together cornstarch and water to create a slurry.
  6. Stir the cornstarch slurry into the simmering sauce. Cook, stirring, until the sauce thickens, about 2-3 minutes.
  7. Taste and adjust seasoning if needed.
  8. Serve the honey garlic chicken over cooked rice, garnished with green onions.

Notes

  • For extra flavor, you can marinate the chicken in the honey garlic sauce for 30 minutes before cooking.
  • Feel free to add your favorite vegetables like broccoli or bell peppers to the skillet.
  • Use low-sodium soy sauce if you prefer a less salty dish.
