Ingredients
- – 1 ½ pounds (680 g) boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- – 1/2 teaspoon (3 ml) salt and black pepper each
- – 3 tablespoons (45 ml) cornstarch
- – 1 tablespoon (15 ml) vegetable oil or as needed
- – green onions thinly sliced for garnish
- – â…“ cup (80 ml) honey
- – 2 tablespoons (30 ml) beef broth or water
- – 2 tablespoons (30 ml) soy sauce
- – 2 teaspoons (10 ml) grated fresh ginger
- – 2 teaspoons (10 ml) cornstarch
- – 1 teaspoon (5 ml) sriracha or to taste
- – 3 cloves garlic minced
Instructions
- Pat the chicken dry with a paper towel and slice it into small, bite-sized chunks. Put these pieces into a medium bowl and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Add cornstarch and mix until the chicken is well-coated.
- In a separate small bowl, thoroughly mix together honey, beef broth, soy sauce, ginger, cornstarch, sriracha, and minced garlic until they form a smooth mixture.
- Heat vegetable oil in a large frying pan over medium-high heat. Cook the chicken in batches until it is no longer pink, taking about 5-6 minutes per batch. Move the cooked pieces to a separate dish to keep them warm.
- Stir the sauce ingredients once more to ensure the cornstarch is evenly distributed, then pour into the same frying pan. Allow it to come to a light boil over medium heat, stirring continuously, and let it bubble for 1 minute.
- Return the chicken to the skillet, stirring until every piece is coated with the sauce. Finish by scattering sliced green onions over the dish before serving.
Notes
- Consider using low-sodium soy sauce for a healthier option.
- Adjust sriracha to your preferred spice level gradually.
- Marinate chicken in sauce for 30 minutes for enhanced flavor.
