Ingredients

• Chicken – 1 1/2 pounds of boneless skinless chicken breasts cut into bite sized pieces
• All Purpose Flour
• Salt and Black Pepper
• Avocado Oil
• Honey
• Garlic Cloves – 4 gloves of minced garlic
• Soy Sauce
• Green Onions – sliced for the garnish is optional
• Sesame Seeds – for the garnish is optional

How to make honey garlic chicken bites

STEP ONE – In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, salt, and black pepper. Add the chicken pieces to the bowl and toss to coat evenly with the flour mixture.

STEP TWO – Heat the avocado oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once the oil is hot, add the coated chicken pieces to the skillet in a single layer, working in batches if necessary to avoid overcrowding the pan.

STEP THREE – Cook the chicken for 6-8 minutes, turning occasionally, until golden brown and cooked through. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.

STEP FOUR – In a small bowl, whisk together the honey, minced garlic, and soy sauce until well combined.

STEP FIVE – Reduce the heat to medium and pour the honey garlic sauce into the same skillet used for the chicken. Cook the sauce for 2-3 minutes, stirring constantly, until it thickens slightly and becomes glossy.

STEP SIX – Return the cooked chicken pieces to the skillet and toss to coat evenly with the honey garlic sauce. Cook for an additional 1-2 minutes, or until the chicken is heated through and the sauce is well incorporated.

STEP SEVEN – Serve the chicken bites hot and garnish with sliced green onions and sesame seeds, if desired.

Storage and reheating instructions

Store leftover chicken using an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.

Reheat in a pan on the stove over medium heat for a couple of minutes or just until heated through. Or in a microwave-safe dish using 30 second intervals in the microwave until heated through.
