How to Make Sauteed Chicken Breasts With Soy Glaze

  1. Pat 1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breasts dry with paper towels and cut into 1-inch pieces.
  2. Heat 1 tablespoon vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add chicken and cook, stirring occasionally, until browned and cooked through (about 5-7 minutes). Remove chicken from skillet and set aside.
  3. Reduce heat to medium-low. In a small bowl, whisk together 1/4 cup soy sauce, 2 tablespoons honey, 1 tablespoon rice vinegar, and 1 teaspoon grated ginger.
  4. Pour sauce into the skillet and bring to a simmer, cooking for 1-2 minutes, or until slightly thickened. (Optional: For a thicker sauce, whisk 1 teaspoon cornstarch with 1 tablespoon water and add to the simmering sauce.)
  5. Return chicken to the skillet. Increase heat to medium-high and cook, stirring frequently, until the sauce has reduced and coats the chicken (about 2-3 minutes).
  6. Serve immediately over rice or quinoa.
