Ingredients

Scale

Chicken

  • 2 pounds chicken breast, cut into 1-inch bite-sized pieces
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon pepper
  • 1/2 teaspoon paprika
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil

Sauce

  • 1 cup BBQ sauce
  • 1/4 cup honey

Instructions

  1. Prepare the chicken: Cut the chicken breast into 1-inch bite-sized pieces. In a bowl, season the chicken with salt, pepper, paprika, and garlic powder to ensure every piece is well flavored.
  2. Cook the chicken: Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and add olive oil. Once the oil is hot, place the seasoned chicken pieces into the skillet. Let them cook undisturbed for 3-4 minutes to develop a nice sear. Then stir the chicken and continue to cook, stirring occasionally, for another 3-5 minutes or until the chicken is fully cooked and reaches an internal temperature of 165˚F. Remove the skillet from heat.
  3. Make the honey BBQ sauce: In a small bowl, whisk together the BBQ sauce and honey until smooth and well combined.
  4. Toss chicken with sauce: Pour the honey BBQ sauce over the cooked chicken bites in the skillet. Stir thoroughly to coat all the chicken evenly with the sauce. Serve immediately for best flavor and texture.

Notes

  • Make sure the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F for safe consumption.
  • For extra flavor, you can marinate the chicken in the spices for 30 minutes before cooking.
  • Use gluten-free BBQ sauce to make the dish gluten-free.
  • This recipe can be paired nicely with rice, salad, or roasted vegetables for a complete meal.
