Sesame Chicken Ingredients

2 cups Boneless, skinless chicken breasts

1 cup Aged soy sauce

1 tbs Honey

2 tbs Toasted sesame oil

2 tsp Garlic, minced

1 tsp Ginger, minced

1 tbs Cornstarch

2 tbs Tuscany sunflower oil

2 tbs Sesame seeds

2 tbs Green onions, chopped

Method

Cooking Directions

Prepare the Chicken

Cut the chicken breasts into bite-sized pieces and set aside.

Marinate

In a bowl, mix soy sauce, honey, sesame oil, garlic, and ginger. Add the chicken pieces to the marinade and let sit for at least 30 minutes.

Coat the Chicken

After marinating, remove the chicken from the marinade and toss it in cornstarch until evenly coated.

Cook the Chicken

Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the coated chicken and cook until golden brown and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes.

Add Sauce

Pour the reserved marinade into the skillet with the chicken and bring to a simmer. Cook until the sauce thickens, stirring occasionally.

Serve

Garnish with sesame seeds and chopped green onions. Serve hot over rice or noodles.
