Place the chicken pieces in a large bowl. Add the cornstarch, salt, and pepper. Stir to coat the chicken.
1 ½ - 2 lb Chicken Breast, 2 tablespoon Cornstarch, ½ teaspoon Salt, ¼ teaspoon Pepper
Add the avocado oil to a large skillet and heat over medium-high.
2 tablespoon Avocado Oil
Once the oil is hot add the chicken and cook, flipping the chicken pieces after a minute or two, until the chicken is beginning to brown, about 2-3 minutes. Add the garlic and the whites portions of the green onion.
1 tablespoon Minced Garlic, 3 Green Onions
Continue cooking the chicken, garlic, and onion until the chicken is golden brown and the garlic and onion are fragrant, stirring frequently and being mindful that the garlic isn't burning, about 2-3 minutes.
Reduce the heat to medium-low and add the garlic chili sauce, honey, soy sauce, rice vinegar, and cilantro. Cook for about 8 minutes, stirring frequently until the chicken is cooked through (chicken should be cooked to a minimum internal temperature of 165°) and the sauce has thickened.
2 teaspoon Garlic Chili Sauce, ⅓ cup Honey, 2 tablespoon Soy Sauce, 2 tablespoon Rice Vinegar, ¼ cup Cilantro
Remove from heat. Add the butter and stir until it has completely melted.
3 tablespoon Butter
Serve over rice and garnished with the rest of the green onions and additional cilantro if desired.
