Honey Ginger Chicken
You will not believe how easy this Honey Ginger Chicken is to make. It's ready in just 25 minutes and requires only a few ingredients, making it an ideal weeknight dinner or meal prep recipe.
Ingredients
- 1 ½ pounds chicken breasts cut into bite sized pieces
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon pepper
- ¼ cup cornstarch
- 3 tablespoons olive oil or any neutral tasting oil
- 3 tablespoons butter
- 4 cloves garlic minced
- 1 tablespoon ginger minced
- 3 ½ tablespoons soy sauce
- 4 tablespoons honey
- as needed red pepper flakes optional
- as needed sesame seeds optional
I always use Kosher salt in my kitchen! If using table salt, start with half the amount and adjust to taste, as it is much "saltier" by volume.
Instructions
- Season the chicken with salt and pepper. Then, toss the chicken in cornstarch to fully coat it.
- Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add in the olive oil and begin cooking the chicken until browned and fully cooked. Reduce the heat to medium.
- Add the butter to the pan, once melted add in the minced garlic and ginger. Sauté for 30 seconds. Pour in the soy sauce and honey. Mix well.
- Cook for one minute then serve over white rice and garnish with red pepper flakes and sesame seeds. Enjoy!
