Ingredients

• 500 grams Boneless, skinless chicken breasts
• 60 ml Soy sauce
• 2 tablespoons Honey
• 1 tablespoon Rice vinegar
• 2 Garlic cloves, minced
• 1 teaspoon Ginger, grated
• 1 teaspoon Cornstarch
• 2 tablespoons Water
• 1 tablespoon Sesame oil
• 2 Green onions, chopped
• 1 tablespoon Optional: Sesame seeds for garnish
• 4 servings Optional: Cooked white rice or noodles (to serve)

Directions

Step 1

Cut the chicken breasts into bite-sized pieces and season lightly with salt and pepper.

Step 2

In a small bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, honey, rice vinegar, minced garlic, and grated ginger until well combined. Set aside.

Step 3

In a separate small bowl, mix the cornstarch and water to create a slurry. Set aside.

Step 4

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

Step 5

Add the chicken pieces to the skillet and cook for 6-8 minutes until golden brown and cooked through. Remove the chicken and set aside.

Step 6

Pour the prepared sauce mixture into the skillet and bring it to a gentle simmer over medium heat, stirring frequently.

Step 7

Add the cornstarch slurry to the sauce and cook for 1-2 minutes, stirring constantly, until the sauce thickens.

Step 8

Return the cooked chicken to the skillet and toss to coat evenly in the sauce. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes to ensure the chicken absorbs the flavors.

Step 9

Sprinkle chopped green onions and sesame seeds over the chicken for garnish.

Step 10

Serve immediately over cooked white rice or noodles, if desired.
