30 Easy Date Night Recipes You Can Make At Home: Honey Garlic Chicken Bites
by eatwell101
Yield: 4 servings Prep Time: 10 min Cook time: 12 min
Honey garlic chicken bites is the easiest dinner to throw together! Make it all in one skillet and let the flavors blow your mind!
Ingredients you need for the Honey Garlic Chicken Bites
1lb (450g) boneless skinless chicken breast, cut into 1-inch cubes
2 teaspoons cornstarch, optional
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 tablespoon unsalted butter
4 cloves garlic, finely minced
1/4 cup honey
3 tablespoons low-sodium chicken stock
1 or 2 tablespoons lemon juice
1 teaspoon hot sauce (we used Sriracha), optional
1 teaspoon red chili pepper flakes, for garnish
1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley, for garnish
Directions
1. To make the honey garlic chicken bites: Add the chicken cubes to a large salad bowl together with cornstarch, salt, and pepper. Mix to evenly coat all the chicken pieces.
2. Heat the oil in a large skillet, over medium-high heat. Melt butter into the oil and add the chicken cubes and cook on all sides until golden brown, for about 6-8 minutes. You may need to work in batches, to avoid overcrowding the pan and steaming the chicken bites.
3. Once the chicken is done cooking, pour over the garlic, honey, chicken stock, lemon juice, and hot sauce (if using) and stir to completely coat; allow the sauce to simmer for a couple of minutes to meld all the flavors and reduce a little until it sticks to the chicken bites.
4. Garnish the honey garlic chicken bites with fresh chopped parsley and red chili pepper flakes, then serve over rice. Enjoy! ❤️
