Ingredients

Scale

Chicken:

  • 1.5 pounds boneless, skinless chicken thighs, cut into bite-sized pieces

Marinade:

  • 1/3 cup low-sodium soy sauce
  • 1/4 cup honey
  • 2 tablespoons rice vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon sesame oil
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon fresh ginger, grated

Slurry:

  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch
  • 2 tablespoons water

Others:

  • 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
  • sliced green onions and sesame seeds for garnish (optional)
  • cooked white rice for serving

Instructions

  1. Marinate the Chicken: In a medium bowl, combine soy sauce, honey, rice vinegar, sesame oil, garlic, and ginger. Add chicken, stir to coat, cover, and marinate in the refrigerator for 30 minutes to 2 hours.
  2. Cook the Chicken: Heat vegetable oil in a skillet. Cook chicken in batches for 3-4 minutes per side until browned and cooked through. Transfer to a plate.
  3. Make the Sauce: Pour reserved marinade into the skillet, simmer. Mix cornstarch and water, stir into the sauce, cook until thickened.
  4. Combine and Serve: Return chicken to the skillet, toss in the sauce, heat through. Serve over rice, garnished with green onions and sesame seeds.

Notes

  • You can use chicken breasts instead of thighs.
  • For added heat, include sriracha or red pepper flakes in the marinade.
  • This dish pairs well with steamed broccoli or stir-fried vegetables.
