Ingredients
Scale
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (about 1.5 lbs)
- 1/4 cup honey
- 1/4 cup low-sodium soy sauce
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tbsp fresh ginger, grated
- 1/2 tsp red pepper flakes (adjust to taste)

Instructions
- Trim excess fat from the chicken breasts and cut into bite-sized pieces.
- In a bowl, whisk together honey, soy sauce, minced garlic, grated ginger, and red pepper flakes. Marinate the chicken in this mixture for at least 30 minutes.
- Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the marinated chicken and cook until golden brown and cooked through, about 6-8 minutes.
