Ingredients for Honey Chicken
Chicken – Boneless skinless chicken breasts are a favorite, but boneless-skinless chicken thighs work just as well. To keep it extra fast, you can also chop up bits of rotisserie or leftover chicken, heat them in a little bit of broth, and add it to the sauce. Honey Sauce – Honey adds sweetness to this recipe, while a bit of ginger and garlic adds flavor. Sriracha gives it a bit of a kick! Garnish – Green onions, sesame seeds, and even toasted crushed peanuts with some chili paste can make a delicious garnish! Serve Honey Chicken over rice, cauliflower rice, fried rice, or with stir-fried vegetables.
How to Make Honey Chicken
Variations & Swaps
Swaps – Add red pepper flakes in place of sriracha. Replace garlic with ¾ teaspoon garlic powder. Fresh ginger is best in this recipe, but if needed, it can be replaced with ½ teaspoon ground ginger. No chicken breast? Use shrimp, pork tenderloin, or chicken thighs. Add chunks of bell pepper, onion, or pineapple. Try using apricot chicken sauce instead!
Leftovers
Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. Reheat in the microwave until heated through. Did your family love this Honey Chicken?
