• Olive oil: 2 tsp (can substitute vegetable oil)
  
  
• Chicken breast: 1.5 lbs, boneless and skinless, cut into small, 1/2 inch cubes
• Salt: to taste
• Pepper: to taste
  
  
• Honey: 3 tbsp
• Soy sauce: 3 tbsp
• Garlic: 3 cloves, minced
• Red pepper flakes: 1/4 tsp

• Serve with rice and a vegetable such as roasted asparagus or spinach with garlic
• Top with sesame seeds and/or thinly sliced scallion greens
• Be careful not to overcook the chicken - it cooks through pretty quickly
• Sub soy sauce with tamari to make GF

1. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat
2. Season the chicken with salt and pepper, then add to the skillet and brown on one side, about 3 - 4 minutes (don't touch it during this time to let it get a nice brown color)
3. Make the glaze while the chicken is cooking - whisk together the honey, soy sauce, garlic, and red pepper flakes in a small bowl until well combined
4. Add the sauce to the pan and toss to coat the chicken. Cook until chicken is cooked through, about 4 - 5 more minutes
5. Serve with rice and a vegetable; top with scallions and sesame seeds if desired
