Sweet & Spicy Chicken Bites

 

My family LOVES when this gem comes up on the menu for the week.  I have one kiddo who thinks ketchup is spicy so we don't get too crazy with the spice here but feel free to make it as spicy as you'd like.  I serve it with rice and steamed broccoli.

6 chicken breasts cut into bite size chunks

1 tablespoon olive oil

1 cup honey

1/2 cup soy sauce

2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar

1-2 tsp. ground black pepper (depending on how spicy you like things)

1 tsp. garlic powder

1 tsp. onion powder

1/4-1/2 tsp. cayenne pepper, optional

salt and pepper to taste

In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat.  Add the chicken chunks, sprinkle with salt and pepper, and cook 2-3 minutes.  

In a large measuring cup, combine the honey, soy sauce, apple cider vinegar, black pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and cayenne pepper.  Use a fork and stir to combine.  

Once the chicken has cooked for a couple of minutes pour the sauce mixture into the skillet.  Continue to cook until the chicken is cooked through and the sauce has reduced and thickened by about half.

Serve over your favorite rice with a veggie.
