Ingredients

Honey Garlic Sauce

1/2 cup chicken broth
1/8 cup soy sauce
1/4 cup honey
1 tablespoon minced garlic
1 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes (adjust for spice level)
1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar

Breaded Chicken

2 pounds boneless skinless chicken thighs or breasts, cut into 1.5 inch pieces
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon black pepper
1/4 cup olive oil
4 tablespoons salted butter

Add Ins

4 cups snap peas add in the last 5 minutes

Instructions

Whisk together soy sauce, honey, garlic, red pepper flakes, apple cider vinegar, and chicken broth to make the sauce.
Cube chicken into 1.5" cubes and toss in flour, salt, and pepper. Evenly coat.
Over medium heat on the stovetop, add in butter and olive oil. Add in chicken and cook until thoroughly browned on all sides, about 10-12 minutes.
Add in the sauce straight to the pan with the chicken and let simmer over a medium-low heat for an additional 10 minutes.
In the last 5 minutes of cooking time, toss in snap peas. Stir gently so they get coated with the sauce and become more tender. Serve up on a bed of cooked rice.

Notes

Instead of snap peas, you could also use fresh steamed green beans as a substitute.
Increase spiciness by simply adding in more red pepper flakes.
If you are want it super saucy, double the sauce recipe.
