Ingredients

Scale

1 lb (450g) boneless, skinless chicken breast, cut into 1-inch cubes

Instructions

Add the chicken breast cubes to a large salad bowl with cornstarch, salt, and pepper. Mix to evenly coat all the chicken pieces.
Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Melt the butter into the oil, then add the chicken cubes. Cook on all sides until golden brown, about 6-8 minutes. Work in batches if needed to prevent overcrowding.
Once the chicken is cooked, add the garlic, honey, chicken stock, lemon juice, and hot sauce (if using). Stir well to coat the chicken. Let the sauce simmer for a few minutes until it thickens and clings to the chicken.

Garnish with chopped parsley and red chili pepper flakes. Serve over rice and enjoy!

Notes

Cornstarch helps create a slightly crispy coating on the chicken but is optional.
Adjust the amount of lemon juice and hot sauce according to your taste preference.

This dish pairs well with steamed rice or vegetables.
