Ingredients

2 teaspoons extra-virgin olive oil
1 1/2 pounds boneless (skinless chicken breasts
Salt and black pepper
3 tablespoons honey
3 tablespoons low-sodium soy sauce
3 cloves garlic
1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes )
Brown or white rice (sliced green onions

Instructions

1
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
2
Lightly season the cubed chicken with salt and pepper. (Go easy because the soy sauce has plenty of sodium.)
3
Add the chicken to the skillet and brown on one side, about 3-4 minutes.
4
Meanwhile, make the glaze. Whisk the honey, soy sauce, garlic and red pepper flakes, if using, in a small bowl until well combined.
5
Turn the chicken pieces over to begin cooking on the other side. Add the sauce to the pan and toss to coat the chicken pieces. Cook until chicken is cooked through, 4-5 more minutes. (The small pieces cook quickly, which is the point, so be careful not to overcook them.)
6
Serve with steamed rice and top with green onions, sesame seeds and a squeeze of lime juice, if desired.
