Ingredients
Scale
- 1 lb (450g) boneless, skinless chicken breasts or thighs, cut into bite-sized pieces
- 2 tablespoons sesame oil
- 3 tablespoons soy sauce (low sodium preferred)
- 2 tablespoons honey or maple syrup
- 2 tablespoons rice vinegar
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon grated fresh ginger
- 1/4 cup toasted sesame seeds
- 2 green onions, sliced (for garnish)
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- In a bowl, whisk together soy sauce, honey, rice vinegar, garlic, and ginger to make the sauce. Set aside.
- Heat sesame oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add chicken pieces, season with salt and pepper, and cook until golden brown and cooked through, about 7-8 minutes.
- Pour the sauce over the cooked chicken, stirring to coat evenly. Cook for another 2-3 minutes until the sauce thickens slightly.
- Sprinkle toasted sesame seeds and sliced green onions over the top. Serve hot.
Notes
- For a crunchier texture, bake the chicken pieces at 400°F (200°C) for 15 minutes before adding the sauce.
- Use fresh ginger and garlic for a more vibrant flavor.
- Adjust honey and soy sauce for sweetness and saltiness to taste.
