15-Minute Honey Garlic Chicken Bites

This recipe uses diced boneless chicken breast—perfect for speedy cooking and soaking up that irresistible honey-garlic sauce. Paired with steamed rice and a green veggie (like broccoli or green beans), it turns into a full, comforting family meal with virtually no extra effort.

Ingredients (serves 4):

• 1½ lb (about 700 g) boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into small cubes

• 2 teaspoons extra-virgin olive oil (or canola oil)

• Salt & freshly ground black pepper, to taste

• 3 tablespoons honey

• 3 tablespoons low-sodium soy sauce

• 3 cloves garlic, minced

• Optional: ¼ teaspoon red pepper flakes for a bit of heat

• For serving: steamed white or brown rice, sliced green onions, sesame seeds, lime wedges

Instructions:

1. Prep the chicken & pan: Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Season chicken cubes lightly with salt and pepper.

2. Brown the chicken: Add the chicken to the skillet and cook until golden on one side, about 3–4 minutes.

3. Make the sauce: While chicken cooks, whisk together honey, soy sauce, garlic, and red pepper flakes (if using).

4. Finish cooking: Flip chicken pieces, pour in sauce, then toss to coat. Cook for another 4–5 minutes, until the sauce is sticky and the chicken is cooked through—but be careful not to overcook.

5. Serve: Spoon over steamed rice, sprinkle with green onions and sesame seeds, and finish with a squeeze of lime if liked.

Seasoning & Serving:

• Seasoning: The balance of sweet honey, savoury soy, and garlicky aromatics makes this sauce irresistible—add red pepper flakes only if your family enjoys a touch of heat.

• Serving suggestions: Serve alongside steamed rice and a green vegetable (broccoli, green beans, or snow peas). Leftovers stay great for up to 4–5 days in the fridge and are fantastic reheated.
