Honey Garlic Chicken Bites (Easy 20-Minute Dinner)

מצרכים

• For the chicken:
• 600 g (about 1.3 lb) boneless, skinless chicken breast, cut into bite-sized pieces
• 20 g cornstarch (UK: cornflour)
• Salt and black pepper, to taste
• 2 tbsp oil
• 15 g butter (about 1 tbsp)
• 5 garlic cloves, finely chopped
• Fresh parsley, chopped, to finish
• For the honey garlic sauce:
• 80 g honey (a scant 1/4 cup)
• 2 tbsp soy sauce (30 ml)
• 1 tbsp apple cider vinegar or rice vinegar (15 ml)
• 3 tbsp water (45 ml)
• A pinch of cayenne pepper, optional
• US measurements are approximate; use the metric quantities for the closest match.
• HOW TO MAKE HONEY GARLIC CHICKEN BITES
• 1. Toss the chicken with salt, pepper and cornstarch.
• 2. Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the chicken until golden, then remove it from the pan. Work in batches if needed.
• 3. Lower the heat, add the butter and garlic, and cook for 20–30 seconds, until fragrant.
• 4. Add the honey, soy sauce and vinegar. Stir to combine, then add the water.
• 5. Return the chicken to the pan and toss to coat. Cook over medium heat for about 2–3 minutes, until the sauce thickens and clings to the chicken. The thickest piece should reach 165°F (74°C).
• 6. Finish with chopped parsley and serve.
• SAUCE TIP
• If the sauce becomes too thick, stir in a tablespoon of water. If it needs more time to reduce, remove the cooked chicken first so it stays tender.
