Total Time: 35 mins
Cuisine: Asian
Serves: 4 servings
Ingredients
- 1 lb chicken breast, cubed
- 1/4 cup honey
- 2 tablespoons sriracha sauce
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Begin by preparing your ingredients. Cube the chicken breast into bite-sized pieces, ensuring they are uniform for even cooking.
- In a mixing bowl, combine the honey, sriracha sauce, soy sauce, and olive oil. Whisk the mixture until well blended and smooth. This will be your glaze for the chicken bites.
- Season the cubed chicken with salt and pepper to taste. Make sure to coat the chicken evenly for the best flavor.
- In a large skillet, heat a tablespoon of olive oil over medium-high heat. Once the oil is hot, add the seasoned chicken cubes to the skillet.
- Sauté the chicken for about 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the chicken is golden brown and cooked through. The internal temperature should reach 165°F (75°C).
- Once the chicken is cooked, reduce the heat to medium and pour the honey sriracha glaze over the chicken in the skillet. Stir well to coat all the pieces evenly with the glaze.
- Continue to cook the chicken in the glaze for an additional 3-5 minutes, allowing the sauce to thicken and caramelize slightly. Stir frequently to prevent burning.
- Once the glaze has thickened and the chicken bites are well-coated, remove the skillet from heat.
- Let the chicken bites rest for a couple of minutes before serving. This allows the glaze to set a bit more.
- Serve the Honey Sriracha Glazed Chicken Bites hot, garnished with sliced green onions or sesame seeds if desired. Enjoy your delicious Asian-inspired dish!
Tips
- Cut chicken into uniform bite-sized pieces to ensure even cooking and consistent flavor distribution.

- Whisk the glaze thoroughly to create a smooth, well-combined sauce.
- Stir frequently when adding the glaze to prevent burning and ensure every piece is evenly coated.
