Honey Butter Garlic Chicken<\/h2>\n\t\t

\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t

\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t
\n\t\t
  • 1 pound of boneless (skinless chicken thighs, chopped into small pieces)<\/li>
  • 2 tablespoons of cornstarch<\/li>
  • 1 tablespoon of olive oil<\/li>
  • 1 tablespoon of Challenge Unsalted Butter<\/li>
  • 1 teaspoon of chili powder<\/li>
  • 3\/4 teaspoon of salt (adjust to your liking)<\/li>
  • 1\/2 teaspoon of black pepper<\/li>
  • 1\/2 tablespoon of minced garlic<\/li>
  • 1 teaspoon of red pepper flakes (optional)<\/li>
  • 2 to 4 tablespoons of honey (adjust according to taste)<\/li>
  • 2 tablespoons of finely chopped cilantro<\/li>
  • 1\/2 tablespoon of rice vinegar<\/li>
  • 2 tablespoons of Challenge Unsalted Butter<\/li>
  • Chopped cilantro or green onions for garnish<\/li><\/ul>\t<\/div>\n\t
    \n\t\t
    1. Toss the chicken pieces in a bowl with cornstarch until they’re evenly coated.<\/li>
    2. Heat a skillet over medium-high heat and add olive oil along with Challenge Unsalted Butter.<\/li>
    3. Add the coated chicken to the skillet, season with salt and pepper, and cook until golden brown and cooked through, about 5 minutes.<\/li>
    4. Stir in minced garlic, red pepper flakes (if using), honey, cilantro, rice vinegar, and more unsalted butter.<\/li>
    5. Saute until the chicken is golden brown and coated in the luscious sauce, which should take about 3 to 4 minutes.<\/li>
    6. Once done, remove from the heat and garnish with additional cilantro. Serve over rice, steamed veggies, or wrap it in lettuce leaves!<\/li><\/ol>\t<\/div>\n\t
      \n\t\t

      Quick tip: If you only have salted butter on hand, you can still use it. Challenge Butter has a helpful article on substituting salted for unsalted butter. Since we’re using only about 3 tablespoons of butter in this recipe, the salt addition is minimal. Adjust the salt you add accordingly. Enjoy your delightful meal!<\/p>\n\t<\/div>\n\t
