Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound Boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 3 cloves Garlic cloves, minced
- 2 tablespoons Soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon Honey
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Cut the chicken breasts into bite-sized pieces and set aside.
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet or frying pan over medium heat.
Add the minced garlic to the skillet and sauté for about 1 minute, until fragrant.
Add the chicken pieces to the skillet in a single layer and cook for 5-6 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the chicken is browned on all sides.
In a small bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, honey, lemon juice, paprika, salt, and black pepper.
Pour the sauce over the chicken in the skillet and stir to coat the pieces evenly.
Let the chicken cook in the sauce for an additional 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the sauce thickens slightly and the chicken is fully cooked through (internal temperature of 165°F/74°C).
Remove the skillet from heat and garnish with chopped fresh parsley if desired.
Serve the Chop Chop Chicken immediately over rice, in a wrap, or alongside your favorite side dishes.
