Instructions

  1. Step 1: Heat 2 tbsp sesame oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add 1 lb chicken breast cut into 1-inch cubes and sauté for 6-7 minutes until golden and cooked through.
  2. Step 2: Add 1 tbsp minced fresh ginger and 3 minced garlic cloves to the skillet, cooking for 1 minute until fragrant but not browned.
  3. Step 3: In a small bowl, mix 3 tbsp honey, 1/4 cup soy sauce, and 1 tbsp rice vinegar; pour this mixture over the chicken and stir to coat.
  4. Step 4: Stir 1 tsp cornstarch into 2 tbsp water until dissolved, then add to the skillet. Cook while stirring for 2-3 minutes until the sauce thickens and glazes the chicken.
  5. Step 5: Remove from heat and sprinkle 1 tbsp toasted sesame seeds and 2 sliced green onions over the dish before serving.
