  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/3 cup honey
  • 1/4 cup low sodium soy sauce

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees F and lightly grease a 12 cup muffin tin.

  3. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat and cook chicken for 6 to 8 minutes until golden and fully cooked.
  4. Add minced garlic and cook for 30 seconds until fragrant.
  5. Stir in honey and soy sauce, then simmer for 2 to 3 minutes.
  6. Add the cornstarch mixture and stir until the sauce thickens and becomes glossy.
  7. Press cooked rice firmly into each muffin cup to form a base.

  • Stir the sauce continuously while thickening.
  • Grease the muffin tin well to prevent sticking.
