Ingredients
  

  • 1/4 cup honey
  • 2 tbsp soy sauce
  • 1 tsp chili garlic sauce
  • 1 lb boneless skinless chicken thighs
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper
  • 1 tbsp corn starch
  • 2 tbsp Land O Lakes Spreadable Butter with Olive Oil and Sea Salt divided
  • 1 tsp sesame oil
  • 1 medium zucchini sliced into half moons
  • 1/2 cup chopped bell pepper
  • 1/2 white onion chopped
  • 3 cloves minced garlic
  • 1 tsp minced ginger
  • 1/4 tsp sesame seeds

Equipment

  • Wooden Spoon
  • Chef's Knife
  • Large Pot
  • Skillet

Method
 

  1. In a small bowl, combine the honey, soy sauce, and chili garlic sauce. Whisk them together until well blended, and set aside.
  2. In another medium bowl, season the chicken with the salt, garlic powder, and black pepper. Then, sprinkle the corn starch over the chicken and toss everything together to ensure the chicken is evenly coated.
  3. Heat a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add 1 tablespoon of Land O Lakes Spreadable Butter with Olive Oil and Sea Salt. Once melted, add the zucchini, bell pepper, and onion. Stir-fry the vegetables until they are lightly charred and tender, about 3 to 5 minutes.
  4. In the same skillet, add the remaining tablespoon of butter and sesame oil. Increase the heat to medium-high and add the coated chicken. Cook until the chicken is golden brown on all sides and cooked through, about 6 to 8 minutes.
  5. Once the chicken is cooked, add the minced garlic and minced ginger to the skillet. Sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
  6. Pour the sauce you prepared earlier into the skillet. Stir everything together and bring the sauce to a boil, stirring occasionally until it thickens, around 1 to 2 minutes.
  7. Return the sautéed vegetables to the skillet. Toss everything together until the veggies are well coated in the sauce and heated through, about 2 minutes.
  8. Garnish with sesame seeds before serving. Enjoy your Honey Garlic Chicken Stir Fry hot over rice or noodles for a complete meal!
