Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb chicken breasts (2 pieces)
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • ½ tsp black pepper
  • 3 tbsp cornstarch
  • 2 tbsp avocado oil
  • 6 cloves garlic (minced)
  • 1 tsp red chili pepper flakes (optional)
  • ¼ cup honey
  • 2 tbsp soy sauce
  • 2 tbsp lemon juice
  • 3 tbsp water (to thin out the glaze)
  • 2 tbsp cold butter
  • Garnish with chopped chives

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Chicken: Cut the chicken into 1-inch cubes. In a bowl, season with salt, black pepper, and garlic powder until evenly coated.
  2. Coat the Chicken: Add cornstarch to the seasoned chicken and mix well.
  3. Heat the Oil: Heat avocado oil over medium-high heat in a large skillet.
  4. Sear the Chicken: Add the chicken to the skillet and sear until golden brown and crispy, about 5 minutes per side.
  5. Remove and Set Aside: Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
  6. Sauté the Garlic: In the same skillet, lower the heat and add minced garlic and red chili flakes (if using). Sauté for 1 minute until fragrant.
  7. Make the Sauce: Stir in honey, soy sauce, lemon juice, and water. Keep stirring until the sauce slightly thickens for about 2 minutes.
  8. Add the Butter: Drop in the cold butter and swirl until it melts.
  9. Combine Chicken and Sauce: Add the chicken back to the pan and toss to coat.
  10. Serve and Enjoy: Plate the bites and garnish with chopped chives.
