Cut the chicken breasts into bite-sized pieces and season with salt and black pepper.

Step 2

In a large skillet or wok, heat 1 tablespoon of sesame oil over medium-high heat.

Add the chicken pieces to the skillet in a single layer. Cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the chicken is browned and cooked through. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.

Step 6

In a small bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, rice vinegar, and honey.

Step 7

In another small bowl, mix the cornstarch with water to form a slurry.

Step 8

Return the cooked chicken to the skillet, and pour the soy sauce mixture over the chicken and broccoli. Toss to combine.

Step 9

Add the cornstarch slurry to the skillet and cook for another 2-3 minutes, stirring constantly until the sauce thickens and evenly coats the chicken and broccoli.

Step 10

Remove from heat and sprinkle with sesame seeds and sliced green onions.
