This 5-ingredient, 15-minute honey garlic chicken with an addictively delicious sauce makes a perfect quick and easy weeknight dinner recipe!

Ingredients

  • 2 teaspoons extra-virgin olive oil (or canola oil)
  • 1 1/2 pounds boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into small cubes (about 1/2 inch)
  • Salt and black pepper
  • 3 tablespoons honey
  • 3 tablespoons low-sodium soy sauce
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional, adjust for heat)
  • Brown rice, sliced green onions, sesame seeds, chopped peanuts, lime wedges to squeeze over chicken

Directions

  1. 1

    Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.

  2. 2

    Lightly season the cubed chicken with salt and pepper. (Go easy because the soy sauce has plenty of sodium.)

  3. 3

    Add the chicken to the skillet and brown on one side, about 3-4 minutes.

  4. 4

    Meanwhile, make the glaze. Whisk the honey, soy sauce, garlic and red pepper flakes, if using, in a small bowl until well combined.

  5. 5

    Add the sauce to the pan and toss to coat the chicken pieces. Cook until chicken is cooked through, 4-5 more minutes.

  6. 6

    Serve with steamed rice and top with green onions, sesame seeds and a squeeze of lime juice, if desired.
