Ingredients
  

  • 2 lbs chicken breast, thinly sliced or cubed (900 grams)
  • 1 TBSP potato starch
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp pepper
  • 4 TBSP oil, for cooking chicken

Honey Lemon Garlic Sauce

  • 5 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/4 cup white wine
  • 1/4 cup honey
  • 1/8 cup lemon juice
  • 1 TBSP brown sugar
  • 1 TBSP water
  • 1 tsp sriracha
  • 1 tsp red chili flakes
  • 1/2 TBSP green onion, for garnish

Instructions
 

Prepare Chicken

  • Slice or cube the chicken breasts(depending on if you like slivers or square bites more- pictured are slivers!).
    Add to a bowl with the potato starch, salt, and pepper.
  • Heat oil in a large skillet(or heavy bottomed fry pan), and add the chicken in a nice layer. If your pan is small, cook the chicken in two batches.
    Let the chicken cook on the first side without stirring for about 2 minutes and then use your spatula to flip the chicken to the second side and break it apart(it will stick together a bit while it sears). Continue cooking until golden.

Honey Lemon Garlic Sauce

  • While the chicken is cooking add all sauce ingredients(besides the green onion), to a small bowl and set aside.
    Once the chicken is finished pour the sauce over the chicken directly in the skillet.
    Cook, mixing frequently, until the sugar has dissolved and the sauce has thickened slightly.
    If you like a saucier dish, only continue cooking for about one minute after adding the sauce.

Serve

  • Garnish with green onion and serve with rice/potatoes/vegetables. I bring this to the table directly in my skillet!
    Dinner done! Enjoy.
