Chicken Bites

• 8 skinless, boneless chicken thighs, cut into bite-sized pieces
• 3/4 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
• 1/2 teaspoon granulated garlic
• 3 tablespoons cornstarch
• 3 tablespoons olive oil

Sauce

• 6 cloves garlic, minced
• 1/4 cup low-sodium chicken broth
• 1/4 cup honey
• 3 tablespoons soy sauce

1. Pat chicken dry with paper towel towels; cut into bite-size pieces (about 1 inch). 
2. Sprinkle chicken pieces with salt, pepper, and garlic granules. 
3. Lightly dredge chicken pieces into the cornstarch, leaving a thin dusting.
4. Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat; sear chicken pieces until golden on all sides, 3 to 4 minutes per side. 
5. Remove chicken pieces and set aside.
6. Add minced garlic to the same skillet; sautée until fragrant, about 30 seconds. 
7. Stir in chicken broth, honey, and soy sauce. Let sauce bubble gently for 1 to 2 minutes, without boiling.
