5. Use the same cooking pan, add the sauce and increase the heat to medium-high heat. Stir the sauce and allow it to come to a boil for 1-2 minutes. Reduce the heat back to medium and allow it to continue to simmer and cook down for 2-3 minutes.
6.Once the sauce has been thickened, add the chicken back to the pan to rewarm, tossing to thoroughly coat in the honey garlic sauce. Cook for 1-2 minutes.
