Here is how to make it:
**Ingredients:**
4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (or thighs for extra tenderness)
* ½ cup cornstarch (this makes it extra crispy!)
* 2 tablespoons olive oil
* **For the Glaze:** ⅓ cup honey, 2 tablespoons soy sauce, 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar, and 1 clove of minced garlic.

**Simple Steps:**
**Prep the Chicken:** Cut your chicken into bite-sized strips. Place them in a bowl with the cornstarch and toss until they are lightly coated.
2. **Pan-Sear:** Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the chicken pieces in a single layer. Cook for 5–6 minutes on each side until they are golden brown and cooked through.
3. **Glaze:** In a small bowl, whisk together the honey, soy sauce, vinegar, and garlic. Pour this mixture right into the skillet with the chicken.
4. **Finish:** Let it bubble for 2–3 minutes, tossing the chicken gently until the sauce thickens into a beautiful, glossy glaze.
5. **Serve:** Plate your crispy chicken alongside those hot, oven-baked fries. It pairs wonderfully with a side of steamed broccoli or a fresh garden salad.
