Ingredients
For the Chicken
- 1 pound boneless skinless chicken breast, cut into 1 inch cubes
- 3 tablespoons gluten-free flour
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- to taste Kosher salt and ground pepper
- 2 tablespoons olive oil, divided
For the Sauce
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1/4 cup honey
- 3 tablespoons low sodium soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon white wine vinegar
- 1/2 tablespoon sriracha/hot chili sauce, or to taste
For Garnish
- to taste chopped fresh parsley

Instructions
Preparation
- Place the cubed chicken into a large Ziploc bag. Add the gluten-free flour, dried oregano, Kosher salt, and ground pepper to the bag. Seal it tightly and shake gently until all the chicken pieces are evenly coated.
- In a large frying pan, heat one tablespoon of olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the coated chicken cubes and cook, turning occasionally, until each piece is golden brown.
- In a small jug, combine the minced garlic, honey, soy sauce, white wine vinegar, and sriracha. Stir well to mix all the ingredients.
Cooking
- Pour the prepared sauce over the cooked chicken in the skillet. Toss everything to coat well and allow the mixture to simmer for a couple of minutes.
- Remove the pan from heat and garnish with chopped fresh parsley and a sprinkle of sesame seeds.
Notes
For extra texture, consider adding chopped vegetables to the pan when cooking the chicken. Adjust the heat level of the dish by changing the amount of sriracha. Serve with a refreshing side of crunchy lettuce.
