Ingredients

• Chicken breast - 300 grams, cut into bite-sized pieces
• Butter - 50 grams

• Soy sauce - 2 tablespoons
• Honey - 1 tablespoon
• Black pepper - 1/2 teaspoon
• Green onions - 2, chopped
• Cornstarch - 1 tablespoon

Steps

1. In a mixing bowl, combine the soy sauce, honey, black pepper, and salt. Add the chicken pieces and marinate for 15 minutes.
2. In a large skillet, heat the vegetable oil over medium heat. Once hot, add the marinated chicken and cook for about 5-7 minutes until golden brown and cooked through.
