Irresistible Honey Garlic Chicken Bites: A Delightful Flavor Explosion
Ingredients
- 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into 1-inch cubes
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- 2 tablespoon olive oil
- 2 tablespoon unsalted butter
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes
- 1/4 cup honey
- 1/4 cup low-sodium chicken broth
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
Instructions
1. Start by tossing the chicken cubes with cornstarch until they are evenly coated. This will help create a delightful crispiness on the outside while keeping the inside tender and juicy.
2. In a large skillet, heat the olive oil and melt the butter over medium heat. Add the chicken and cook for 5–7 minutes, until the chicken is browned and cooked through.
3. In a small bowl, whisk together the minced garlic, red pepper flakes, honey, chicken broth, salt, and black pepper. This savory-sweet sauce will be the star of the show.
4. Pour the honey garlic sauce over the chicken in the skillet. Reduce the heat to low and cook for an additional 2–3 minutes, allowing the sauce to thicken and coat the chicken evenly.
5. Garnish the Honey Garlic Chicken Bites with fresh chopped parsley for a vibrant finishing touch. Serve the chicken bites over a bed of fluffy rice or alongside your favorite noodles for a complete and satisfying meal.
Notes
Cutting the chicken into 1-inch cubes helps it cook evenly and creates the perfect bite-sized pieces.
Coating the chicken in cornstarch before cooking adds a delightful crispiness that complements the sticky sauce.
Adjust the amount of red pepper flakes to your desired level of spiciness – a little goes a long way in adding a subtle kick.
Serve the chicken bites over a bed of steamed rice or toss them with your favorite pasta for a complete and satisfying meal.
