Creating Honey Sesame Chicken is simple when you follow these easy steps:
1. Prepare Chicken: Start by cutting the chicken breasts into bite-sized pieces. Season them with salt and pepper.
2. Coat in Cornstarch: Place cornstarch in a large bowl. Toss the chicken pieces in the cornstarch until evenly coated.
3. Heat Oil: In a large skillet over medium-high heat, add vegetable oil. Allow it to heat until shimmering.
4. Cook Chicken: Carefully add the coated chicken pieces to the skillet in a single layer. Cook for 4-5 minutes until golden brown, turning halfway through. Remove and set aside.
5. Make the Sauce: In the same skillet, lower the heat, and add honey, soy sauce, sesame oil, garlic, and ginger. Stir well to combine.
6. Combine Chicken and Sauce: Return the cooked chicken to the skillet. Toss to coat the chicken evenly with the sauce. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes to let the flavors meld.
7. Add Sesame Seeds: Sprinkle sesame seeds over the chicken and stir until well mixed.
8. Garnish: Remove from heat and top with sliced green onions for fresh flavor.
9. Serve Immediately: Enjoy your Honey Sesame Chicken hot.
