Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 lb boneless chicken thighs, cut into bite-size pieces
  • 1/4 cup soy sauce
  • 3 tbsp honey
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tsp fresh ginger, grated
  • 1 tbsp cooking oil
  • Cooked rice and sliced green onions for serving

Instructions

  1. Mix the sauce. Stir together the soy sauce, honey, garlic, ginger and 2 tbsp water.
  2. Brown the chicken. Cook the chicken in oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until browned and cooked through (165°F inside), about 7 minutes.
  3. Glaze. Pour in the sauce and simmer 2–3 minutes, tossing, until it thickens and coats the chicken.
  4. Serve. Spoon over rice and top with green onions.
