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 or white rice (sliced green onions, sesame seeds, chopped peanuts, lime wedges to squeeze over chicken)

Steps
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
Lightly season the cubed chicken with salt and pepper. (Go easy because the soy sauce has plenty of sodium.)
Add the chicken to the skillet and brown on one side, about 3-4 minutes.
Meanwhile, make the glaze. Whisk the honey, soy sauce, garlic and red pepper flakes, if using, in a small bowl until well combined.
Turn the chicken pieces over to begin cooking on the other side. Add the sauce to the pan and toss to coat the chicken pieces. Cook until chicken is cooked through, 4-5 more minutes. (The small pieces cook quickly, which is the point, so be careful not to overcook them.)
Serve with steamed rice and top with green onions, sesame seeds and a squeeze of lime juice, if desired.

Abby on 2026-10-20 (5 stars): Red pepper flakes!
Laura on 2026-10-04 (5 stars): Red pepper is a real thing. Typically used on pizza to add a little heat to the dish.
Laura Turner on 2026-10-04 (5 stars): I too have an 8yr old and 13yr old. I hope they enjoy it just as much! Making this tonight for dinner ans I am going to add cauliflower rice and or i had thought of couscous.
Jensi on 2026-08-16 (5 stars): This was delicious!! I was looking for a quick recipe to make for lunch yesterday and stumbled across this one. I doubled it and had a hard time squeezing all of the chicken into my pan, so I think I’ll cook in batches in the future. By husband fried an egg to go over the top and the runny yolk was delectable! Definitely a keeper!
(Also, I cannot get the video to work. Ads just keep playing on repeat…wanted you to know.)
