Ingredients

• 300g boneless, skinless chicken breast, cubed
• 4 slices whole wheat bread
• 2 tablespoons olive oil, divided
• 1 tablespoon honey
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 tablespoon lemon juice
• Salt to taste
• Freshly ground black pepper to taste

Instructions

1. Pat the chicken cubes dry and season them generously with salt and freshly ground black pepper.
2. In a small bowl, whisk together the honey, minced garlic, and lemon juice to create the glaze. Set aside.
3. Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken and cook for 6-8 minutes, stirring occasionally, until golden brown and cooked through.
4. Reduce the heat to low and pour the honey-garlic glaze over the chicken. Stir continuously for 1-2 minutes until the sauce thickens and coats each piece of chicken.
5. While the chicken cooks, brush the whole wheat bread slices with the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Toast them in a toaster or on a separate griddle until golden and crisp.
6. Serve the warm honey-garlic chicken immediately, with the rustic whole wheat toasts on the side for dipping or as a base.
