Ingredients
Chicken
- 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts, pat dry with a paper towel, cut into 1-inch pieces
- ¼ cup (31 g) all-purpose flour
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- ½ teaspoon onion powder
- ½ teaspoon paprika
- ½ teaspoon kosher salt
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
Sauce
- ½ cup (170 g) honey
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 3 tablespoons garlic, minced
- 1 small yellow onion, finely diced (about ½ cup)
- 2 tablespoons white wine vinegar
- ½ teaspoon red pepper flakes
- green onions, for garnish
Instructions
Chicken
- In a medium bowl, combine flour, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt and pepper. Add chicken and toss to coat completely.
- In a 12-inch skillet over medium heat, add oil. Once hot, add chicken to the pan in an even layer to ensure even cooking. (Do not overcrowd the pan.) Cook for 8-10 minutes, rotating every few minutes, until all sides are golden brown and the chicken is cooked through. (Chicken is fully cooked when it reaches an internal temperature of 165°F.) Transfer to a plate and tent to keep warm while you prepare the sauce.
Sauce
- To the same skillet over medium-high heat, add honey, soy sauce, garlic, onion, vinegar, and red pepper flakes. Stir to combine.
- Bring mixture to a boil. Then, reduce the temperature to medium heat. Simmer for about 12-15 minutes, or until thickened.
- Add cooked chicken back into the skillet, tossing to coat with the sauce.
- Garnish with green onions. Serve immediately.
