Honey Garlic Sesame Chicken Easy and Flavorful Dinner

Ingredients

• 1 lb boneless chicken thighs, cut into bite-sized pieces
• 4 tablespoons honey
• 3 tablespoons soy sauce
• 3 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 tablespoon fresh ginger, grated
• 2 tablespoons sesame oil
• 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
• 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
• 1 tablespoon cornstarch
• 2 tablespoons sesame seeds
• 3 green onions sliced (for garnish)
• 1 serving cooked jasmine rice (for serving)

Instructions

1. In a medium bowl, mix together honey, soy sauce, minced garlic, grated ginger, sesame oil, and rice vinegar. Add the chicken pieces and coat them well in the marinade. Let it sit for 20 minutes to absorb the flavors.
2. In a separate bowl, mix cornstarch with a pinch of salt. Once the chicken has marinated, toss the pieces in the cornstarch mixture until evenly coated.
3. Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add the chicken pieces in a single layer, cooking for about 5-6 minutes or until golden brown on all sides and cooked through. Avoid overcrowding the pan; cook in batches if necessary.
4. Once the chicken is cooked, pour the remaining marinade into the skillet. Stir to combine and let it simmer for an additional 2-3 minutes until the sauce thickens slightly.
5. Sprinkle sesame seeds over the chicken and toss to ensure an even coating. Cook for another minute until fragrant.
6. Remove from heat. Serve the Honey Garlic Sesame Chicken hot over a bed of jasmine rice, garnished with sliced green onions.
