Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 1.5 lbs boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into bite-sized pieces
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
  • 3 tablespoons honey
  • 3 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon rice vinegar (optional)
  • 1/2 teaspoon sesame oil (optional)

Method
 

Cooking
  1. Season the chicken pieces with salt and pepper.
  2. Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
  3. Add the chicken pieces to the skillet and cook for about 6-7 minutes until golden brown and no longer pink in the center. Remove and set aside.
  4. In the same skillet, reduce the heat to medium. Add minced garlic and sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
  5. Stir in honey, soy sauce, rice vinegar, and sesame oil until combined.
  6. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer, then add the cornstarch slurry, stirring continuously for about 2 minutes until the sauce thickens.
  7. Return the chicken to the skillet and toss to coat with the sauce.
  8. Cook for an additional 1-2 minutes until heated through.
  9. Remove from heat and garnish with sliced green onions and sesame seeds.
  10. Serve immediately while hot.
