Ingredients

2 tbsp honey
2 tsp olive oil
1 tbsp cornstarch
1- 1 1/2 lbs. chicken breasts or thighs, cut into bite sized pieces
2 tbsp butter (salted or unsalted)
1 tbsp fresh garlic, minced
2 tbsp soy sauce (regular or low sodium)
red pepper flakes, cilantro, scallions for serving (optional)

Instructions

In a medium bowl, toss chicken with corn starch. Set aside.
In a large skillet on high, heat olive oil. When oil is hot, add chicken. Spread chicken out in an even layer the best you can. Cook for 2-3 minutes without touching the chicken so you get a nice, browned crust on the chicken.
After 2-3 minutes (check for browning), flip chicken and cook 1-2 minutes more (without touching the chicken!) until the other side is nicely browned.
