Ingredients

Scale

4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (about 1.5 lbs)
4 cloves fresh garlic, minced
2 tbsp olive oil
2 tsp paprika
Salt and pepper to taste
2 tbsp honey
3 tbsp low-sodium soy sauce
1 tsp sesame oil

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C) and lightly spray a baking dish with nonstick cooking spray.
Cut chicken breasts into bite-sized pieces and season with salt, pepper, and paprika in a large bowl.
In a skillet over medium heat, sauté minced garlic in olive oil until golden brown (about 1 minute).
Add seasoned chicken pieces to the skillet and cook until golden brown on all sides (about 6 minutes), ensuring they reach an internal temperature of at least 165°F (74°C).
While the chicken cooks, whisk together honey, soy sauce, and sesame oil in a small bowl.
Once the chicken is cooked through, pour the sauce over it in the skillet. Stir well and cook for an additional 2 minutes until bubbly.
