Ingredients
- 500 grams chicken breast
- 3 tablespoons cornstarch
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 2 cloves garlic
- 1 tablespoon ginger
- 120 milliliters sweet chilli sauce
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon lime juice
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 2 stalks green onions
- 1 tablespoon sesame seeds
- 0.5 teaspoon red chili flakes
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
Directions
Step 1
Cut the chicken breast into bite-sized pieces and season with salt and black pepper.
Step 2
Coat the seasoned chicken pieces with cornstarch in a bowl, ensuring all pieces are evenly coated.
Step 3
Heat vegetable oil in a large frying pan over medium heat.
Step 4
Add the chicken pieces to the pan in a single layer and cook until golden brown and cooked through, about 8-10 minutes. Turn occasionally to ensure even cooking. Remove from pan and set aside.
Step 5
Mince the garlic cloves and grate the ginger, then add them to the same pan. Sauté for 1 minute until fragrant.
Step 6
Pour in the sweet chilli sauce, soy sauce, lime juice, and honey into the pan. Stir the mixture well to combine and let it simmer for 2-3 minutes until slightly thickened.
Step 7
Return the cooked chicken pieces into the sauce, tossing to coat each piece evenly with the sauce. Let it cook for another 2-3 minutes.
Step 8
Slice the green onions and sprinkle them over the chicken along with sesame seeds and red chili flakes.
Step 9
Serve the sweet chilli chicken hot over steamed rice or noodles, garnished with additional green onions if desired.
