Sweet and Spicy Honey Pepper Chicken

Step 1: Start by seasoning the chicken breasts with salt and pepper and then heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat and cook the chicken until golden and cooked through, approximately 6-7 minutes per side (time will depend on thickness of breast).

Step 2: Once done, remove the chicken from the skillet and set it aside (see NOTE and end of instructions).

Step 3: In the same skillet, combine honey, soy sauce, apple cider vinegar, ground black pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and ground cayenne pepper (we mixed all the ingredients into a jug and poured into the pan) and then allow the mixture to simmer until slightly thickened, stirring occasionally, for about 2-3 minutes.

Step 4: Slice the cooked chicken into strips and return them to the skillet with the honey pepper sauce and coat the chicken evenly with the sauce, till heated through.

Step 5: NOTE - after making this several times we have found that slightly undercooking the chicken is best and once rested cut into strips and re-introduce into the sauce to heat through and finish cooking through. Also for an extra quick meal left over pre-cooked chicken cut up into bite size pieces can also be warmed up in the sauce and served with rice or veggies for a quick meal.
