Ingredients

• 1 lb Boneless, skinless chicken breast
• 2 tbsp Cornstarch
• 3 tbsp Low-sodium soy sauce
• 2 tbsp Rice vinegar
• 1 tbsp Honey
• 3 cloves Garlic, minced
• 1 tsp Fresh ginger, minced
• 1 cup Chicken broth (low sodium)
• 0.5 tsp Crushed red pepper flakes
• 2 Green onions, sliced thinly
• 1 tsp Sesame seeds (optional)
• 0 Cooking spray

Directions

Step 1

Cut the chicken breast into bite-sized cubes and pat dry with paper towels.

Step 2

Place the chicken pieces in a large bowl and toss them with 1 tablespoon of cornstarch until evenly coated. Set aside.

Step 3

In a small bowl, prepare the sauce by whisking together the soy sauce, rice vinegar, honey, minced garlic, minced ginger, chicken broth, crushed red pepper flakes, and the remaining 1 tablespoon of cornstarch. Set aside.

Step 4

Heat a non-stick skillet or wok over medium-high heat and lightly coat it with cooking spray.

Step 5

Add the chicken pieces to the skillet in a single layer. Cook for 4-5 minutes on each side until they are golden brown and fully cooked through. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.

Step 6

Reduce the heat to medium and pour the sauce mixture into the skillet. Stir constantly and cook until the sauce thickens, about 2-3 minutes.

Step 7

Return the cooked chicken to the skillet and toss to coat it with the sauce. Cook for an additional 2 minutes, ensuring the chicken is thoroughly coated and heated through.

Step 8

Sprinkle sliced green onions and sesame seeds (if using) over the chicken before serving.

Step 9

Serve hot with steamed vegetables or brown rice for a complete WW Core-friendly meal.
