Напрямки

If cooking rice, start the rice first. Cook it according to the package instructions. Feel free to steam your veggies prior as well.

Add cubed chicken to a large bowl and toss with red pepper flakes and salt.

Add the cubed chicken to a greased skillet. Cook on medium heat for about 12-14 minutes or until it's about 165º internal heat, adding the chopped onions and garlic halfway through. It's always best to have a digital meat thermometer. This will help keep the chicken nice and juicy.

While the chicken is cooking, mix the Honey Bourbon sauce together in a medium sized bowl. Whisk well.

Once the chicken is about cooked through, pour the Honey Bourbon Sauce over everything.

Turn the heat to medium-low and cook for another 3-5 minutes or until the the sauce is thickened. Serve hot over rice with a side of steamed green beans (or any veggies of choice).
