Ingredients
  

  • 2 cups boneless skinless chicken breasts, cut into bite-sized pieces
  • 1/4 cup honey
  • 1/4 cup soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon sesame oil
  • 2 tablespoons cornstarch
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper

  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 teaspoon fresh ginger grated
  • 1/4 cup sesame seeds

  • Cooked rice for serving

Method
 

  1. In a medium bowl, combine honey, soy sauce, sesame oil, cornstarch, and black pepper. Whisk until smooth and set aside.
  2. Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add chicken pieces and cook for about 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the chicken is browned and cooked through.
