🛒 Ingredients — 2 Servings
- 300g boneless chicken, bite-size pieces
- 1 tbsp cooking oil
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 cups cooked rice
- Green onions & sesame seeds, optional
Honey Garlic Sauce
- 3 tbsp soy sauce
- 2 tbsp honey
- 1 tbsp water
- 1 tsp sesame oil
- 1 tsp cornstarch
- Black pepper
👨🍳 4 Easy Steps
1. Make the Sauce
Mix soy sauce, honey, water, sesame oil, cornstarch, and a little black pepper.
2. Cook the Chicken
Heat oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add chicken and cook for 5–7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until golden and cooked through.
3. Add Garlic & Sauce
Add minced garlic and cook for about 30 seconds. Pour in the sauce and stir for 1–2 minutes until it becomes glossy and coats the chicken.
4. Build Your Bowl
Spoon warm rice into bowls and top with the honey garlic chicken. Finish with green onions and sesame seeds.
Dinner is ready!
⭐ ChefEase Kitchen Tip
Cut chicken into similar-sized pieces.
Evenly sized pieces cook at roughly the same speed, helping prevent some pieces from becoming dry while others are still cooking.
Also, don't add the honey sauce too early. Honey can burn quickly, so add it near the end of cooking.
🥦 Make It a Complete Meal
Add your favorite vegetables:
- Broccoli
- Bell peppers
- Carrots
- Green beans
- Mushrooms
You can stir-fry them separately or cook them in the same skillet after the chicken.
