Instructions

Creating Sweet and Spicy Honey Pepper Chicken is straightforward. Just follow these easy steps:

1. Prepare the Chicken: Cut the chicken into bite-sized pieces and season with salt and black pepper.
2. Make the Sauce: In a small bowl, whisk together honey, soy sauce, apple cider vinegar, red pepper flakes, and a dash of ground black pepper. Set aside.
3. Heat the Skillet: In a large skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium-high heat.
4. Cook the Chicken: Add the seasoned chicken pieces to the skillet. Sauté for about 5-7 minutes until they start to brown and are cooked through.
5. Add the Sauce: Pour the honey sauce over the chicken. Stir well to coat the chicken evenly.
6. Simmer: Allow the chicken to simmer in the sauce for 3-5 minutes, letting the sauce thicken slightly.
