Ingredients

Scale
  • 1.5 lbs boneless, skinless chicken breasts or thighs, cut into 1-inch pieces
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
  • 1/2 cup honey
  • 1/4 cup soy sauce (low sodium preferred)
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon grated fresh ginger
  • 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch mixed with 2 tablespoons cold water (slurry)
  • Sesame seeds, for garnish
  • Chopped green onions, for garnish

Instructions

  1. Season the chicken pieces generously with salt and black pepper.
  2. Heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat.
  3. Add the seasoned chicken to the skillet and cook for about 5-7 minutes, or until the chicken is nicely browned. Set it aside on a plate.
  4. Lower the heat to medium and combine the honey, soy sauce, minced garlic, rice vinegar, grated ginger, and red pepper flakes (if using) in the same skillet.
  5. Stir the sauce well and let it simmer gently for a few minutes.
  6. Whisk together the cornstarch with cold water to create a slurry. Add this slurry to the sauce and stir continuously until it thickens slightly.
  7. Return the browned chicken to the skillet, coating it thoroughly with the sauce.
  8. Heat everything through for another minute, ensuring the sauce clings beautifully to the chicken.
  9. Garnish your dish with sesame seeds and chopped green onions before serving.

Notes

Serve over rice or alongside steamed vegetables for a complete meal.
