Ingredients

– 1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breast, cut into bite-sized pieces
– ¼ cup honey (or maple syrup for a vegan version)
– 2 tbsp gluten-free soy sauce (or tamari)
– 1 tbsp sesame oil
– 1 tbsp cornstarch

– Cooking oil for frying (like vegetable or canola)

Instructions

Preparing Honey Sesame Chicken is a breeze with these straightforward steps. Follow along for an easy and enjoyable cooking experience:

1. Marinate the Chicken: In a bowl, combine the chicken pieces with honey, gluten-free soy sauce, sesame oil, garlic powder, and ground ginger. Marinate for at least 15 minutes to enhance flavors.
2. Coat the Chicken: Sprinkle cornstarch over the marinated chicken, ensuring each piece is well coated for a crispy texture when cooked.
3. Heat the Oil: In a large skillet, heat a couple of tablespoons of cooking oil over medium-high heat.
4. Cook the Chicken: Add the marinated chicken to the skillet, ensuring there’s enough space for it to cook evenly. Sauté for about 5-7 minutes or until the chicken is cooked through and golden brown.
5. Add the Sauce: In a separate bowl, whisk together rice vinegar and additional honey (if desired). Pour this mixture over the cooked chicken, stirring to evenly coat.
6. Simmer: Allow the chicken and sauce to simmer for another 3-5 minutes until the sauce thickens slightly.
7. Toast Sesame Seeds: In a small dry pan, lightly toast the sesame seeds over medium heat for about 1-2 minutes, just until golden brown. Set aside for garnish.
8. Assemble: Once the sauce has thickened, remove the skillet from the heat. Taste and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper if needed.
9. Garnish: Sprinkle the toasted sesame seeds and chopped green onions on top for added flavor and presentation.
10. Serve: Enjoy your Honey Sesame Chicken warm over your choice of rice or with steamed vegetables.
