Title: Easy Firecracker Chicken

Ingredients:
– 1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breasts, sliced into bite-sized pieces
– 2 tablespoons soy sauce
– 1 tablespoon cornstarch
– 1/4 cup honey
– 2 cloves garlic, minced
– 1 teaspoon fresh ginger, grated
– 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes (adjust to taste)
– 1/2 cup water
– 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
– 2 green onions, thinly sliced (optional, for garnish)
– Cooked white rice, for serving

Instructions:
1. In a medium bowl, combine the soy sauce, cornstarch, honey, minced garlic, grated ginger, and red pepper flakes. Whisk together until well combined to create the sauce for the dish.

2. Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken pieces to the skillet and cook until they are browned on all sides, approximately 5-7 minutes.

3. Pour the sauce mixture over the chicken in the skillet. Stir well to ensure that all the chicken is coated in the flavorful sauce.

4. Add 1/2 cup of water to the skillet and bring the mixture to a simmer. Reduce the heat to low and let the chicken cook in the sauce for an additional 10-12 minutes, or until the chicken is fully cooked through and the sauce has thickened.

5. Once the chicken is cooked through and the sauce has reached your desired consistency, remove the skillet from the heat.

6. Serve the Easy Firecracker Chicken over a bed of cooked white rice, garnish with sliced green onions for an extra pop of color and flavor, and enjoy your homemade takeout-style dish!
