Garlic Honey Chicken

Lexi McKendall makes this one, originally from @stealth_health_life on TikTok. Day-old rice is the move, and the chili crisp shows up twice, once in the marinade and once in the sauce.

Ingredients

  • 28 oz chicken breast, cubed

Marinade

  • 1 tablespoon chili crisp
  • 1 tablespoon garlic powder
  • ½ tablespoon pepper
  • ½ tablespoon gochugaru
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon avocado oil

Honey garlic sauce

  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 1 teaspoon minced garlic
  • 1 tablespoon chili crisp
  • 1 tablespoon sesame oil
  • 4 tablespoons honey
  • 1 tablespoon mirin
  • ½ tablespoon gochugaru

To finish

  • 650g cooked rice (280g dry weight), preferably day-old
  • ½ cup chopped green onion
  • ½ cup onions
  • Bell pepper, optional
  • Sesame seeds

Instructions

  1. Prep the chicken. Tenderize the boneless skinless chicken breasts and slice into cubes.
  2. Marinate. Make the marinade and let the chicken sit at least 30 minutes.
  3. Make the sauce. Combine the honey garlic sauce ingredients.
  4. Cook the chicken. Cook over high heat until cooked through, then remove.
  5. Cook the onions. Add the onions to the pan and cook.
  6. Combine. Once the onions are cooked, add the day-old rice, the chicken, and the honey garlic sauce.
  7. Serve. Top with green onions and sesame seeds.

Recipe Notes

  • Gochugaru: substitute red chili flakes if you can't find it.
  • From Lexi: she adds bell pepper to hers.
