Lemon Sesame Chicken Recipe

Cooking Instructions

1. 1

   Prepare the Chicken

   Cut the chicken breast into bite-sized pieces. Season with salt and pepper.

2. 2

   Cook the Rice

   Rinse the jasmine rice under cold water until the water runs clear. In a pot, combine 1 cup of jasmine rice with 2 cups of water. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 15 minutes. Remove from heat and let it sit covered for an additional 5 minutes.

3. 3

   Make the Lemon Sauce

   In a bowl, mix soy sauce, lemon juice, honey, minced garlic, and sesame oil. Whisk until well combined.

4. 4

   Cook the Chicken

   In a large skillet, heat a little sesame oil over medium heat. Add the chicken pieces and cook until they are golden brown and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes.

5. 5

   Combine Chicken and Sauce

   Pour the lemon sauce over the cooked chicken in the skillet. Stir to coat the chicken evenly and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until the sauce thickens slightly.

6. 6

   Serve

   Serve the lemon sesame chicken over a bed of jasmine rice. Garnish with sesame seeds and sliced green onions.
