Let’s Get Started-

Serves 4

Prep time- 5 minutes

Cook time- 15 minutes

Ingredients:

8 chicken thighs (skinless & boneless)

2 tbsp cornstarch

1/2 tsp salt

1/2 tsp pepper

2 tbsp olive oil

1 tbsp unsalted butter

4 cloves garlic

1/3 cup honey

1/3 cup chicken stock

1 tbsp rice vinegar

1 tbsp light soy sauce

Or (coconut aminos if gluten free)

To serve:

1tbsp fresh chopped parsley

1/2 tsp chili flakes

Brown rice and we love broccoli

Instructions:

Place the chicken thighs in a bowl and add the cornstarch, salt and pepper. Toss the chicken in the cornflour until fully coated.
Heat the oil in a large skillet or cast iron pan over high heat.
Add the chicken thighs and cook one side until golden brown (about 4-5 minutes), then turn over and cook to a further 2 minutes.
Add the butter to the pan, let it melt, then add the garlic and stir together. Turn the heat down to medium so the garlic doesn’t burn, then make the sauce.
To make the sauce, combine honey, stock, rice vinegar, and soy sauce or coconut aminos in a bowl and stir together.
Add the sauce to the pan. Turn the heat up and bring the sauce to a boil, then simmer for 4-5 minutes until the sauce reduces and thickens, and the chicken is cooked through.
Sprinkle on the chopped parsley and chili flakes and serve over rice with broccoli.
