Ingredients
  

  • 1.5 lbs boneless, skinless chicken thighs or breasts
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1/2 cup soy sauce
  • 1/4 cup honey
  • 2 tbsp rice vinegar

  • 1 tsp sesame seeds

Method
 

  1. Pat chicken dry and cut into 1-inch pieces. Season with salt and pepper.
  2. Whisk together soy sauce, honey, rice vinegar, ginger, garlic, and sesame oil in a bowl. Reserve 1/4 cup for later.
  3. Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Cook chicken for 5-7 minutes until browned and cooked through. Remove from skillet.
  4. Reduce heat to medium, add remaining sauce to skillet and bring to a simmer. Mix cornstarch with water and add to sauce, whisking until thickened.

Notes

Marinate chicken for more flavor if time allows. Use fresh ginger and garlic for best results.
