Instructions

  1. Step 1: Heat 2 teaspoons extra-virgin olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering. Add 1 1/2 pounds of cubed boneless skinless chicken breasts and cook for 4-5 minutes, stirring occasionally until the chicken is golden brown and cooked through.
  2. Step 2: Add 4 cloves of minced garlic to the skillet and sauté for 30 seconds until fragrant, stirring constantly to avoid burning.
  3. Step 3: Pour in 1/4 cup honey, 3 tablespoons low sodium soy sauce, and 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar. Stir to combine and cook for 2-3 minutes until the sauce thickens and coats the chicken evenly.
  4. Step 4: Season with 1/4 teaspoon black pepper and remove from heat. Garnish with 2 tablespoons chopped green onions before serving.
