Ingredients

• 1 lb boneless, skinless chicken thighs
• 3 tbsp soy sauce
• 2 tbsp hoisin sauce
• 1 tbsp honey
• 1 tsp sesame oil
• 1 tsp rice vinegar
• 2 cloves minced garlic
• 1 tsp minced ginger
• 1 tbsp vegetable oil
• 2 green onions, sliced
• 1 tsp sesame seeds

Directions

Step 1

Cut the boneless, skinless chicken thighs into bite-sized pieces and set them aside.

Step 2

In a small bowl, mix together soy sauce, hoisin sauce, honey, sesame oil, rice vinegar, minced garlic, and minced ginger to create the marinade.

Step 3

Add the chicken pieces to the marinade and toss to coat evenly. Let the chicken marinate for 10-15 minutes while you prepare the other ingredients.

Step 4

Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat.

Step 5

Once the oil is hot, add the marinated chicken to the pan. Cook for 6-8 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the chicken is browned and cooked through.

Step 6

Pour any remaining marinade into the pan and let it simmer with the chicken for an additional 2-3 minutes until the sauce thickens slightly.

Step 7

Remove the skillet from the heat and garnish the chicken with sliced green onions and sesame seeds.

Step 8

Serve the Easy Asian Chicken over steamed rice or alongside stir-fried vegetables for a complete meal.
