Healthier Honey Garlic Chicken

From: foodess.com

Yields: 4 Servings

Ingredients

  • 1 lb chicken thighs (cut into bite-sized pieces)
  • 4 tbsp cornstarch
  • 0.33 tsp kosher salt
  • 3 tbsp avocado oil (or other high smoke point oil)
  • 4 tbsp honey
  • 0.33 cup chicken broth
  • 2 tbsp soy sauce
  • 1 tbsp minced garlic
  • 2 green onions (sliced)

Steps

  • Step 1Toss chicken pieces with cornstarch and salt to evenly coat. Heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat until shimmering hot. Add chicken in a single layer and cook, undisturbed, until deeply golden on the bottom. Flip and cook another 2 minutes ((don't worry about cooking it through yet).
  • Step 2Meanwhile, whisk together honey, chicken broth and soy sauce and set aside.
  • Step 3Push chicken to one side of the skillet. Cook garlic in the empty part of the skillet until soft, about 2 minutes. Add honey mixture and stir through chicken to coat. Let it come to a simmer and thicken, 2-3 minutes more. Chicken should reach 165ºF inside. Top with green onions.
