1.5 lbs Chicken Breast, cut into bite-sized pieces
02 -
1 teaspoon Salt
03 -
1 teaspoon Pepper
04 -
0.5 teaspoon Garlic Powder
05 -
0.25 cup Cornstarch
06 -
2 Tablespoons Olive Oil

Fresh Oregano or Italian Parsley, chopped for garnish
# Steps to Follow:
01 -
Cut the chicken into bite-size pieces and pat dry with a paper towel. Sprinkle with salt, pepper, and garlic powder. Toss the chicken in cornstarch in a bowl and coat evenly.
02 -
Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add olive oil and cook the chicken for 8-10 minutes until golden and cooked through.
03 -
Add butter, minced garlic, honey, fresh lemon juice, and soy sauce to the skillet. Cook and allow the mixture to thicken for about 5 minutes.
04 -
If you prefer a thicker sauce, remove the chicken and cook the sauce for an additional 5 minutes. Add the chicken back to the skillet and coat well with the sauce. Garnish with fresh oregano or parsley and serve. Optionally, drizzle with more honey when serving.
# Additional Notes:
01 -
Use boneless, skinless chicken breast or thighs, and freshly squeeze the lemon juice for the best flavor.
02 -
For a gluten-free alternative, substitute soy sauce with tamari sauce.
03 -
Cornstarch helps the sauce adhere to the chicken and creates a crispy coating; you may substitute flour if desired.
