Honey Chicken Ingredients:
• Chicken Breast — I suggest using boneless, skinless chicken breast or thighs, cut into bite-size pieces.
• Salt and Pepper — sprinkle the chicken with salt and pepper before tossing it in cornstarch.
• Cornstarch — this is what helps the sauce adhere to the chicken and also gives it a slightly crispy coating. You may use flour instead.
• Garlic Powder — also called granulated garlic. May substitute garlic salt for the garlic powder but just omit the salt above.
• Butter — use salted butter in this honey chicken recipe.
• Olive Oil — the combination of oil and butter helps to create the perfect crust.
• Honey — use a regular, pure runny type of honey in this honey glazed chicken recipe.
• Garlic — use finely diced fresh garlic cloves for the best flavor.
• Lemon Juice — I suggest using freshly squeezed lemon juice for the freshest flavor.
• Soy Sauce — may use regular soy sauce or gluten-free tamari sauce.
• Oregano — this is optional but adds an extra layer of flavor.
How to make Honey Lemon Chicken:
• Start by cutting the chicken into bite-size pieces. Pat dry with a paper towel. Sprinkle with salt, pepper, and garlic powder. Toss in cornstarch and coat well.
• Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add oil. Cook chicken for 8-10 minutes.
• Add butter, garlic, honey, lemon juice, and soy sauce in a pan. Let cook and thicken for about 5 minutes.
• Sprinkle with fresh oregano or parsley and serve.

Can I use flour instead of cornstarch to coat the chicken?
Yes! You can use either cornstarch or all-purpose flour to coat the chicken. It helps the lemon garlic butter sauce adhere to the chicken.
What can I serve this Honey Lemon Garlic Chicken with?
You can serve this on top of rice, with creamy mashed potatoes, with smashed potatoes, easy oven-roasted potatoes, or served with vegetables like green beans with almonds and lemon zest.
STORAGE:
This honey lemon garlic chicken can be stored in an air-tight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
