Ingredients
  

For the Chicken Bites
  • 1 lb chicken breasts 2 pieces
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • ½ teaspoon black pepper
  • 3 tablespoon cornstarch
  • 2 tablespoon avocado oil
  • 6 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 teaspoon red chili pepper flakes optional
Honey Garlic Glaze
  • ¼ cup honey
  • 2 tablespoon soy sauce
  • 2 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 3 tablespoon water to thin out the glaze
  • 2 tablespoon cold butter
  • Garnish with chopped chives

Method
 

  1. Cut the chicken into 1-inch cubes. In a bowl, season with salt, black pepper, and garlic powder until evenly coated.
  2. Add cornstarch and mix well.
  3. Heat avocado oil over medium-high heat in a large skillet. Add chicken and sear until golden brown and crispy, about 5 minutes per side. Remove the chicken and set aside.
  4. In the same skillet, lower the heat and add minced garlic and red chili flakes (optional). Sauté 1 minute until fragrant.
  5. Stir in honey, soy sauce, lemon juice and water. Stir until the sauce slightly thickens for 2 minutes.
  6. Drop in cold butter and swirl until glossy and luscious.
  7. Add chicken back to the pan and toss to coat.
  8. Serve and enjoy
