  • To a large skillet add the remaining 1 tbsp of oil to the pan and cook the diced chicken over a medium to high heat.

    3 cloves garlic, 1 red bell pepper
  • Add in the honey and the soy sauce and stir until a sauce forms and thickens slightly, it should coat the back of a spoon.
    1/2 cup honey, 1/4 cup soy sauce
  • Add the chicken to the pan and gently to evenly coat.
  • Serve the chicken over steamed white rice and top with chopped scallions, if desired.

Notes

  • Don't want it spicy? Skip the red pepper flakes. If you want it spicier, add extra red pepper flakes.
  • Save time with microwaveable rice.
  • If the sauce isn't thick enough for you, let it cook for another minute or so and it will keep reducing.
