Ingredients
  

1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into bite-sized pieces

1/4 cup honey

1/4 cup soy sauce (low sodium preferred)

2 tablespoons minced garlic

1 tablespoon fresh ginger, grated

1 tablespoon cornstarch

2 tablespoons vegetable oil

1/2 teaspoon black pepper

1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional for heat)

2 green onions, sliced (for garnish)

Cooked rice or quinoa (for serving)

Instructions
 

In a small bowl, whisk together the honey, soy sauce, minced garlic, ginger, and cornstarch until smooth. Set aside.

    Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the chicken pieces and season them with black pepper. Cook for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the chicken is browned and cooked through.

      Pour the honey garlic sauce over the chicken. Stir well to ensure all the pieces are coated. Bring the mixture to a simmer, allowing the sauce to thicken slightly—about 2-3 minutes.

        If using, sprinkle the red pepper flakes for a touch of heat, and mix well.

          Remove the skillet from heat, and garnish the dish with sliced green onions.

            Serve warm over cooked rice or quinoa.
