How To Make Honey Ginger Chicken
This Honey Ginger Chicken goes really well with plain white rice. To maximize time, I like to start my rice right before I begin cooking the chicken. This ensures the rice and chicken are finished at the same time.
STEP 1
Cut the chicken into bite sized pieces and season with salt and pepper. Toss the chicken in the cornstarch and place a skillet over medium high heat. Once the skillet is hot add in the olive oil.
STEP 2
Add the chicken to the skillet and cook until browned on all sides and fully cooked. Turn the heat down to medium.
STEP 3
Now add the butter to the skillet. Once the butter is melted add in the minced garlic and ginger, sauté for 30 seconds.
STEP 4
Add the soy sauce and honey to the skillet, stir well. Cook for 1 minute. Serve over rice and garnish with red pepper flakes and sesame seeds. Enjoy!
