Honey Sriracha Chicken

Honey Sriracha Chicken

1 cup water
2-3 tablespoons Sriracha (I used 2 heaping)
5 tablespoons Lite Soy Sauce
1 teaspoon minced garlic
1/4 cup sugar
3 tablespoons honey
2 tablespoons cornstarch
2 tablespoons water
3-4 boneless skinless chicken breasts, cut into 1-inch cubes
1/3 cup cornstarch
Vegetable or Peanut Oil
Crushed Red Pepper Flakes, if desired
Cooked Rice

In a small-medium saucepan, combine the water, Sriracha, soy sauce, garlic, sugar and honey.  Bring to a boil over medium heat.  Whisk together 2 tablespoons cornstarch and 2 tablespoons water.  Stir into the boiling mixture until it thickens.  Reduce heat to low and keep warm.

Put the chicken cubes into a large ziploc bag and add the 1/3 cup cornstach.  Seal and shake to coat the chicken.  Drizzle a large skillet with oil and heat over medium heat.  Add the chicken and saute until browned and cooked through.  Don't overcrowd the pan....I divided it into 2 batches to cook the chicken.

Once all the chicken is done, return them all to the skillet (drain if necessary) and pour the sauce over.  Serve over hot cooked rice and garnish with pepper flakes if desired.

This was really good!  Found on Pinterest (recipe on lecremedelacrumb.com).  I'll be making this one over and over again!
