Instructions
To make Panda Express Honey Sesame Chicken, follow these simple steps for a delicious meal:
1. Prep the Chicken: Cut the chicken breast into bite-sized pieces and season with salt and pepper.
2. Coat the Chicken: Place cornstarch in a shallow bowl. Dredge each piece of chicken in the cornstarch, ensuring an even coat.
3. Heat the Oil: In a large skillet, heat enough cooking oil over medium-high heat to fry the chicken.
4. Fry the Chicken: Add the coated chicken to the skillet in batches. Cook until golden and fully cooked, about 4-5 minutes per side. Remove and set aside on a paper towel-lined plate.
5. Make the Sauce: In a separate bowl, whisk together gluten-free soy sauce, honey, sesame oil, rice vinegar, minced garlic, and grated ginger.
6. Combine Chicken and Sauce: In the same skillet, pour the sauce mixture over the cooked chicken. Stir well to coat all pieces.
7. Thicken the Sauce: Let the sauce simmer for 2-3 minutes, allowing it to thicken.
8. Add Sesame Seeds: Sprinkle sesame seeds into the pan, stirring to combine.
9. Prepare to Serve: Remove from heat and garnish with sliced green onions.
10. Plate and Enjoy: Serve promptly over rice or with steamed vegetables.
