Ingredients
- 1 lb boneless skinless chicken breast cut into 1 inch cubes
- 3 tbsp gluten free flour
- 1 tsp dried oregano
- Kosher salt and ground pepper to taste
- 2 tbsp olive oil divided
- 3 cloves garlic minced
- 1/4 cup honey
- 3 tbsp low sodium soy sauce
- 1 tbsp white wine vinegar
- ½ tbsp sriracha/hot chili sauce or to taste
- Chopped fresh parsley for garnish
For garnish: sesame seeds optional
Instructions
Add the chicken to a large ziploc bag together with the flour, oregano, salt and pepper.
Mix through the bag to evenly coat all the chicken pieces.
Heat the oil in a large frying pan, over medium-high heat.
Add the chicken and cook on all sides until golden brown, for about 8-10 minutes in total.
You may need to cook the chicken in batches, to avoid overcrowding the pan.
Meanwhile, in a small jug add the garlic, honey, soy sauce, vinegar and sriracha or hot chili sauce.
Mix well to combine.
Once the chicken is done cooking, pour over the garlic-honey, and stir to completely coat; allow the sauce to simmer for a couple of minutes to meld all the flavors.
Garnish with fresh chopped parsley and sesame seeds.
Enjoy!
