Ingredients
- 500 grams Boneless, skinless chicken breast
- 3 tablespoons Honey
- 2 tablespoons Low-sodium soy sauce
- 2 cloves Garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon Ginger, minced
- 1 tablespoon Rice vinegar
- 2 teaspoons Cornstarch
- 2 tablespoons Water
- 1 spray Vegetable oil spray
- 2 tablespoons Green onions, chopped
- 1 teaspoon Sesame seeds
Directions
Step 1
Cut the chicken breast into bite-sized pieces and set aside.
Step 2
In a small bowl, whisk together honey, low-sodium soy sauce, minced garlic, minced ginger, and rice vinegar. Set this honey marinade aside.
Step 3
In another small bowl, mix cornstarch with water until it forms a smooth slurry. Set aside.
Step 4
Spray a large, non-stick skillet with vegetable oil spray and heat over medium-high heat.

Add the chicken pieces to the skillet in a single layer. Cook for 6-8 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the chicken is cooked through and lightly browned.
Step 6
Reduce the heat to medium and pour the honey marinade over the chicken, stirring to coat the chicken pieces evenly.
Step 7
Add the cornstarch slurry to the skillet and stir continuously until the sauce thickens, about 2-3 minutes.
Step 8
Once the sauce is thickened and glossy, remove the skillet from the heat.
Step 9
