  • 1 pound of boneless skinless chicken thighs, chopped into small pieces
  • 2 tablespoons of cornstarch
  • 1 tablespoon of olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon of Challenge Unsalted Butter
  • 1 teaspoon of chili powder
  • 3/4 teaspoon of salt adjust to your liking

Instructions

  • Toss the chicken pieces in a bowl with cornstarch until they’re evenly coated.

  • Add the coated chicken to the skillet, season with salt and pepper, and cook until golden brown and cooked through, about 5 minutes.
  • Stir in minced garlic, red pepper flakes (if using), honey, cilantro, rice vinegar, and more unsalted butter.
  • Saute until the chicken is golden brown and coated in the luscious sauce, which should take about 3 to 4 minutes.

Notes

Quick tip: If you only have salted butter on hand, you can still use it. Challenge Butter has a helpful article on substituting salted for unsalted butter. Since we’re using only about 3 tablespoons of butter in this recipe, the salt addition is minimal. Adjust the salt you add accordingly. Enjoy your delightful meal!
