Main Ingredients
  • 1.5 lbs boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into bite-sized pieces
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
  • 3 tablespoons honey
  • 3 tablespoons soy sauce

Cooking
  1. Season the chicken pieces with salt and pepper.

  7. Return the chicken to the skillet and toss to coat with the sauce.
