Ingredients

300 g raw chicken breast (diced)

1 tbsp cornstarch

1 tbsp soy sauce

1 1/2 tbsp honey

1 tbsp minced garlic

1 tsp sugar

1 tbsp water

¼ tsp paprika

¼ tsp red chili flakes

Salt & pepper

Avocado oil

Butter lettuce leaves

Instructions

In a bowl, toss the diced chicken with salt & pepper, then the cornstarch.

Heat a large pan over medium-high heat and spray with avocado oil.

Add the chicken and let it cook (uncovered) for 3-4 minutes before flipping with a spatula. Cook for another 2-3 minutes.

Combine the soy sauce, honey, garlic, sugar, water, paprika, and chili flakes. Add the sauce to the pan with the chicken and allow it to thicken. Taste and adjust the salt as needed.

Once the chicken has reached an internal temp of 165F and the sauce has thickened, remove it from the pan.

Serve the chicken in lettuce leaves (with ranch and pickled onions), over rice, or in tortillas.
