Instructions

Step 1: Pat dry 1 lb boneless skinless chicken thighs and cut into bite-sized pieces. Heat 2 tbsp vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken pieces and cook for 5-6 minutes, turning occasionally until golden brown and cooked through.
Step 2: Add 3 cloves minced garlic and 2 tbsp finely grated fresh ginger to the skillet with the chicken. Sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant but not burnt.
Step 3: Stir in 3 tbsp soy sauce, 1 tbsp honey, and 1 tbsp sesame oil. Cook for another 2 minutes, allowing the sauce to thicken slightly and coat the chicken.
Step 4: Toss in 4 sliced scallion stalks and season with 1/2 tsp freshly ground black pepper. Stir well and cook for 1 more minute until scallions soften but remain bright green. Serve immediately.
