Number Of Ingredients 14

2 pounds boneless skinless chicken breasts (cut into bite-size pieces)
2 tsp salt
1 tsp pepper
2 tsp garlic powder
2 tbsp butter (divided)
1½ tbsp sesame oil ((or olive oil))
½ cup finely chopped onion
2 tbsp minced garlic
1⅛ cups honey
⅜ cup chili sauce
3 tbsp soy sauce
Green onions (chopped, for garnish)
Sesame seeds (for garnish)
Cooked rice (for serving)

Steps:

Sprinkle the chicken with salt, pepper, and garlic powder.
In a large skillet, over medium heat, melt 1 tablespoon of butter. Add half of the chicken, cooking until it is cooked through or begins to turn golden brown on all sides. Remove chicken from the pan onto a plate lined with a paper towel and keep warm. Drain the skillet. Using the remaining 1 tablespoon of butter, repeat these steps for the remaining chicken.
To the same large skillet, heat the sesame oil. Add onion and saute until translucent. Add the minced garlic. Saute for one minute more.
Add honey, chili sauce, and soy sauce. Bring to a low boil and cook for 1 minute longer.
Return the chicken to the pan and heat through, stirring to coat the chicken with the sauce.
Serve the chicken over rice. Sprinkle the chicken with the chopped green onions and sesame seeds, if desired.
