Instructions

In a bowl, whisk together honey, chicken broth, soy sauce, garlic, 1 tablespoon of corn starch, cider vinegar, salt, and optional red pepper flakes, then set the sauce aside.
Slice the chicken breasts in half lengthwise to create two thin pieces.
In a shallow dish, combine ¼ cup corn starch with a sprinkle of salt and pepper. Dredge the chicken in this mixture and shake off any excess.
Heat canola oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the chicken for 2-3 minutes on each side until lightly browned. Depending on your pan size, you may need to cook in batches.
Remove the chicken from the skillet and pour the prepared sauce into the pan, scraping the bottom to incorporate any browned bits.
Return the chicken to the pan and continuously stir until the sauce thickens and the chicken is fully cooked, around 5 minutes. Ensure the thickest pieces reach 165°F with a meat thermometer.
Serve and enjoy!

Notes

For extra heat, increase the amount of red pepper flakes.
Ensure the chicken is evenly coated in corn starch for a better texture.
This dish pairs well with steamed vegetables or rice for a complete meal.
