This simple, but deliciously healthy chicken recipe can be used as bite sized appetizers or as a main dish with rice and a veggie!

 ¼ cup low-sodium soy sauce
 2 tbsp honey
 2 tsp chopped fresh ginger
 2 tsp chopped garlic
 1 tbsp hot sauce, or more to taste
 1 tbsp packed brown sugar
 1 ¼ lbs (about 4) boneless, skinless chicken breasts cut into 1-inch strips
 ¼ tsp salt
 ¼ tsp black pepper
 1 tbsp vegetable oil, or more as needed
1

Mix together soy sauce, honey, ginger, garlic, hot sauce, and brown sugar in a small bowl. Sprinkle chicken with salt and pepper.

2

Heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Working in batches (add more oil as needed between batches), add chicken and brown on both sides, about 1 minutes per side. Pour sauce over chicken. Simmer, uncovered, until sauce thickens, 8-10 minutes. If desired, serve with hot rice.

TIP - cook the rice in a chicken broth for better flavor. Plate the rice and then add the chicken on top, then drizzle sauce over everything.
