Ingredients

– 1 lb. boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into bite-sized pieces
– ¼ cup cornstarch

Creating Honey Sesame Chicken is a breeze if you follow these steps:

1. Prepare Chicken: In a bowl, coat the chicken pieces evenly with cornstarch.
2. Heat Oil: In a large skillet or wok, heat vegetable oil over medium-high heat.
3. Cook Chicken: Add the chicken to the skillet. Cook until golden brown and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes. Remove and set aside.
4. Make Sauce: In the same skillet, add honey, soy sauce, sesame oil, minced garlic, minced ginger, and rice vinegar. Stir to combine.
5. Combine Chicken and Sauce: Return the cooked chicken to the skillet. Toss to coat the chicken pieces in the sauce thoroughly, cooking for an additional 2-3 minutes.
6. Add Vegetables: If using, add mixed vegetables to the skillet. Stir-fry for another 3-5 minutes, or until vegetables are tender but still crisp.
7. Garnish: Sprinkle with toasted sesame seeds and chopped green onions before serving.
