Quick, flavorful, and family-friendly honey pepper chicken with a sticky sweet-spicy glaze.

  • Total Time: 25 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into bite-sized pieces
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tbsp fresh ginger, grated
  • 1/4 cup honey
  • 2 tbsp soy sauce (low-sodium)
  • 1 tbsp sriracha or hot sauce
  • 1 tsp sesame oil
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper
  • Sesame seeds and sliced green onions for garnish

Instructions

  1. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add chicken and cook until golden and cooked through, about 5–6 minutes.
  2. Stir in garlic and ginger; cook 1 minute until fragrant.
  3. Pour in honey, soy sauce, sriracha, sesame oil, and black pepper. Stir to coat chicken and simmer until sauce thickens and glazes the chicken, about 2–3 minutes.
  4. Serve hot, garnished with sesame seeds and green onions.

Notes

  • For extra crispiness, sear chicken in batches without overcrowding the pan.
  • Glaze thickens as it cools—add a splash of water if too thick.
  • Pair with steamed rice, noodles, or roasted vegetables for a complete meal.
