Ingredients
  

  • 2 lbs chicken breast, cubed
  • 1.5 tbsp avocado oil (or olive oil)
  • 4 cloves garlic, finely minced
  • 2 tbsp honey
  • 2 tbsp soy sauce (or coconut aminos)
  • 1 tbsp apple cider vinegar
  • 1 pinch salt (more to taste)
  • 1 pinch black pepper (more to taste)

Instructions
 

  • Whisk marinade ingredients:

    In a small bowl, whisk together oil, garlic, honey, soy sauce, apple cider vinegar, salt, and pepper until thoroughly combined to form the marinade.
  • Marinate chicken cubes:

    Add the marinade to the cubed chicken and mix well to coat. Allow it to sit for at least 5 minutes to marinate.
  • Cook chicken in glaze:

    Over medium heat, cook the chicken cubes along with the sauce, stirring often, until the sauce thickens and the chicken is fully cooked, roughly 15 minutes. The chicken should be coated in a sticky glaze. Lower the heat to avoid scorching if needed. If the sauce remains thin, keep cooking until it reduces and becomes sticky.
  • Serve with sides:

    For a simple dinner, serve alongside vegetables and rice.
