Instructions

Step 1: Slice 1 lb boneless chicken breast into thin strips about 1/2 inch wide. Pat dry with paper towel.
Step 2: Heat 2 tbsp olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering. Add 3 minced garlic cloves and sauté for 30 seconds until fragrant but not browned.
Step 3: Add the chicken strips to the skillet and stir-fry for 6-7 minutes until cooked through and lightly golden on the edges.
Step 4: Stir in 2 tbsp soy sauce, 1 tbsp honey, 1/2 tsp red chili flakes, 1/2 tsp salt, and 1/4 tsp black pepper. Cook for 2 minutes until the sauce thickens and coats the chicken.
Step 5: Remove from heat and fold in 1/4 cup chopped fresh basil leaves, 1/4 cup chopped fresh mint leaves, and 2 sliced green onions, tossing gently to combine and release the fresh herb aromas before serving.
