Sticky Chicken
Sticky Chicken is flavorful chicken coated in a honey sauce – perfectly paired with a tossed salad.
To begin, cut 1 1/2 pounds of boneless, skinless chicken into 1 1/2 inch pieces. You can use breasts or thighs, whichever you have on hand.
Place the cut chicken in a mixing bowl. Add in 4 teaspoons of Five Spice, a teaspoon each of salt and smoked paprika.
Toss the chicken around to coat with the spices.
In a large, non-stick skillet, heat a tablespoon of coconut oil or extra virgin olive oil over medium high heat. Add in the chicken and cook until it is just browned.
In a measuring cup combine 1/2 cup of honey and the juice of a whole lemon.
Whisk together and pour into the skillet. Continue to cook over medium heat until the chicken is cooked through and the liquid has thickened just a bit.
Serve with a tossed salad.
Enjoy!
