Ingredients
– 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cubed
– 1 tablespoon olive oil
– 1/2 cup low sodium soy sauce
– 1/2 cup water
– 3 tablespoons packed light brown sugar
– 2 tablespoons rice vinegar
– 1/2 teaspoon sesame oil (optional)
– 1 teaspoon ground ginger
– 2 teaspoons minced garlic
– 2 tablespoons honey
– 3 teaspoons cornstarch
– Sesame seeds for garnish
– Chopped green onions for garnish
– Rice for serving
– Steamed vegetables for serving
Instructions
1-First, prepare your ingredients by cubing the chicken and gathering all items. Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the cubed chicken and cook until itβs browned and no longer pink inside, which usually takes about 5-7 minutes.
2-While the chicken cooks, whisk together 1/2 cup low sodium soy sauce, 1/2 cup water, 2 tablespoons honey, 3 tablespoons packed light brown sugar, 2 tablespoons rice vinegar, 1/2 teaspoon sesame oil (if using), 1 teaspoon ground ginger, 2 teaspoons minced garlic, and 3 teaspoons cornstarch in a medium bowl. Once the chicken is ready, pour this mixture into the skillet and stir continuously until the sauce thickens, about 2-3 minutes.
3-Serve the chicken and sauce immediately over cooked rice and add steamed vegetables of your choice. Garnish with sesame seeds and chopped green onions for extra flavor. This method keeps things simple yet delicious, making it ideal for busy nights. Did you know that including ingredients like ginger can offer health perks?
