Instructions
Creating Sweet and Spicy Honey Pepper Chicken is a straightforward process. Follow these simple steps for a delicious outcome:
1. Prepare the Chicken: Cut the chicken breasts into bite-sized pieces and set aside.
2. Make the Marinade: In a bowl, whisk together honey, soy sauce, apple cider vinegar, olive oil, black pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, red pepper flakes, and salt.
3. Marinate the Chicken: Place the chicken pieces in the marinade, ensuring they are well coated. Allow it to marinate for at least 15 minutes (or longer for more flavor).
4. Preheat the Pan: Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add a little olive oil if needed.
5. Cook the Chicken: Add the marinated chicken to the skillet in a single layer. Cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the chicken is browned and cooked through.
6. Glaze the Chicken: Pour any remaining marinade over the chicken in the skillet. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, allowing the sauce to thicken and coat the chicken.
7. Garnish: Remove from heat and garnish with chopped green onions if desired.
