Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Begin by cutting your choice of chicken into bite-sized pieces and season with salt and pepper.
  2. In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add seasoned chicken pieces in a single layer and cook for about 5–7 minutes until golden brown and fully cooked.
  3. While the chicken is cooking, prepare the glaze by combining honey, soy sauce, minced garlic, and ginger in a mixing bowl. Whisk until well blended.
  4. If you prefer a thicker glaze, mix cornstarch with cold water and stir it into the sauce, allowing it to thicken for 2-3 minutes.
  5. Coat the chicken with the sauce and cook for another minute over low heat to deepen flavors.
  6. Remove from heat and garnish with green onions. Serve over rice, noodles, or vegetables.
