Instructions
To prepare this delightful Sesame Chicken, follow these simple steps:
1. Prep the Chicken: Start by cutting the chicken breasts into bite-sized pieces. Pat them dry with a paper towel.
2. Coat the Chicken: In a large bowl, toss the chicken pieces with cornstarch until they are evenly coated.
3. Heat the Oil: In a large skillet or wok, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat.
4. Cook the Chicken: Add the chicken to the skillet in a single layer. Cook for about 5-7 minutes, turning occasionally, until the chicken is golden brown and cooked through.
5. Prepare the Sauce: In a separate bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, honey, rice vinegar, sesame oil, garlic, and ginger until well combined.
6. Add the Sauce: Once the chicken is cooked, pour the sauce over the chicken in the skillet. Stir to coat the chicken evenly with the sauce.
7. Thicken the Sauce: Allow the sauce to simmer for about 2-3 minutes until it thickens slightly.
8. Add Sesame Seeds: Stir in the toasted sesame seeds, ensuring they are well distributed throughout the dish.
9. Garnish: Remove from heat and garnish with sliced green onions for a fresh touch.
10. Serve: Your Sesame Chicken is now ready to be served!
