Instructions

  1. Step 1: Cut 1 lb boneless skinless chicken breast into bite-sized pieces about 1-inch each. Pat dry with paper towels.
  2. Step 2: Heat 2 tbsp vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering. Add the chicken pieces and sauté for 6-7 minutes, turning occasionally, until golden and cooked through.
  3. Step 3: Add 3 cloves minced garlic and 1 tbsp grated fresh ginger to the skillet with the chicken and cook for 30 seconds until fragrant.
  4. Step 4: In a small bowl, whisk together 3 tbsp honey, 1/4 cup soy sauce, and 1 tbsp rice vinegar.
  5. Step 5: Pour the honey-soy mixture into the skillet and bring to a simmer. Mix 1 tsp cornstarch with 2 tbsp water until smooth, then stir into the skillet.
  6. Step 6: Cook for 2-3 minutes, stirring constantly, until the sauce thickens and coats the chicken fully.
  7. Step 7: Remove from heat and sprinkle with 1 tbsp toasted sesame seeds and 2 tbsp sliced scallions before serving.
