Gluten Free Chinese Honey Chicken

  Today I introduce Gluten Free Chinese Honey Chicken! It's very lightly pan fried in olive oil, instead of deep fried and lightly battered in cornstarch, making it a healthier, lighter, and of course, gluten-free version of the Chinese Honey Chicken you'll get from your local takeout! Ingredients

• ½ cup honey
• 2 tbsp gluten free soy sauce
• 1 tbsp apple cider vinegar
• 1 tsp sesame oil
• ½ tsp crushed red pepper flakes
• ½ cup cornstarch
• 2 tbsp brown sugar
• 1 egg (whisked)
• 1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breasts (sliced into cubes)
• 3 tbsp olive oil
• 1 red chili pepper (de-seeded & sliced)
• 3 cloves garlic (minced)
• 2 tbsp green onions (diced)

In a small bowl, whisk the honey, soy sauce, apple cider vinegar, sesame oil and red pepper flakes together. Set the bowl aside. Combine the cornstarch and brown sugar in a shallow bowl or on a rimmed plate. Place the whisked egg in a separate shallow bowl. Add the chicken to the egg, then coat it in the cornstarch mixture. Add the olive oil to a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chili pepper and garlic. Saute 1-2 minutes, then add the coated chicken.   Cook the chicken until slightly brown on all sides. Pour the honey sauce over the chicken, sauté 2-3 minutes. Reduce the heat to low, cover the skillet and simmer for 6-8 minutes. Top with the diced green onions and serve. Gluten Free Option: This recipe is gluten free.
