Method

  1. Trim the chicken, cut into bite‑sized cubes, drizzle with olive oil and season with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder; mix well.

  2. Heat a large skillet over medium‑high heat, add a little oil, and cook the chicken undisturbed for 5‑7 minutes to develop a crust, then stir and continue cooking until fully cooked and crispy, about 10‑12 minutes total.

  3. Remove the chicken, reduce heat to medium‑low, and sauté the minced garlic and sliced green onions for a few minutes.

  4. Add soy sauce and honey to the pan, stir until combined, then return the chicken and cook, stirring frequently, until the sauce thickens and coats the chicken.

  5. Meanwhile, preheat the oven to 425°F. Toss the green beans with 1‑2 tbsp olive oil, 1 tbsp sesame oil, 2‑3 tbsp minced garlic, 2‑3 tbsp sriracha, and season with salt and pepper; roast for 20‑30 minutes, tossing halfway through.

  6. Serve the honey‑garlic chicken over cooked jasmine rice, garnish with sesame seeds and sliced green onions, and enjoy.
