Honey Garlic Chicken

If you're looking for a simple dinner prepped and ready in 30 minutes or less, this Honey Garlic Chicken is a must. And for all the fellow vegetarian/vegans out there, this is just as delicious with tofu! Since publishing on my site nearly six years ago, this continues to be one of my most popular recipes - featured in both Men's Fitness and Shape Magazine.

Ingredients

Serves 4

1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into bite size pieces

2 eggs

1/2 cup brown rice flour (for gluten-free) or whole wheat bread crumbs

Honey Garlic Sauce

Sauce

1/2 cup honey 

5 cloves fresh garlic, minced

2 Tbsp Tamari or low-sodium soy sauce

1 Tbsp corn starch or arrowroot 

optional: 1 Tbsp sesame seeds for topping

 

 

 

Honey Garlic Chicken Directions:

1. After cutting chicken into bite size pieces, dip in small bowl with eggs then roll in small bowl with brown rice flour/whole wheat bread crumbs. (salt and pepper are optional) 

2. Place on nonstick baking dish in preheated oven (400 degrees) for about 15 minutes.

3. While chicken is baking, make sauce over stove on medium-high heat by combining honey, garlic, and tamari or soy sauce into a saucepan. In a small bowl, mix together 1 Tbsp of corn starch or arrowroot and 3-4 Tbsp water. Add to saucepan and continue to mix all ingredients together until thickened. 

4. Add chicken to saucepan to coat each piece evenly. Remove from heat and add optional sesame seeds. This dish pairs great with rice and broccoli. 

I love to pair this honey garlic chicken with jasmine or brown rice and broccoli, but this is also delicious with cauliflower fried rice.
