Make this quick and easy sweet and spicy chicken dinner using just one skillet. The sauce creates a sticky, flavorful glaze perfect for weeknights.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1.5 lb boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into 1-inch pieces
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1/2 cup honey
  • 1/4 cup Sriracha sauce (adjust to your spice preference)
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon fresh ginger, grated
  • 1 cup broccoli florets
  • 1 red bell pepper, sliced
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch mixed with 2 tablespoons cold water (slurry)
  • 1 teaspoon sesame seeds for garnish

Instructions

  1. Season the chicken pieces lightly with salt and pepper.
  2. Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken and cook until browned on all sides, about 5 to 7 minutes. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
  3. In the same skillet, reduce the heat to medium. Add the minced garlic and grated ginger. Cook for 30 seconds until fragrant.
  4. Whisk together the honey, Sriracha sauce, soy sauce, and rice vinegar in a small bowl. Pour this mixture into the skillet. Bring the sauce to a simmer.
  5. Add the broccoli florets and sliced bell pepper to the simmering sauce. Cook for 3 minutes until the vegetables start to soften slightly.
  6. Return the cooked chicken to the skillet. Stir to coat everything in the sauce.
  7. Pour the cornstarch slurry into the skillet while stirring constantly. Cook for 1 to 2 minutes until the sauce thickens into a sticky glaze that coats the chicken and vegetables.
  8. Remove from heat. Garnish with sesame seeds before serving.

Notes

  • For a thicker glaze, let the sauce simmer a bit longer before adding the cornstarch slurry.
  • If you prefer less spice, start with 2 tablespoons of Sriracha and add more to taste.
  • Serve this dish over rice or noodles to soak up the extra glaze.
