Sticky Sesame Chicken
This mouthwatering dish features tender chicken coated in a sweet and savory sesame sauce, served over rice or with steamed veggies. It’s sure to become a family favorite!
Ingredients:
- 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into bite-sized pieces
- 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
- 2 tablespoons sesame seeds
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- ¼ cup soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- 1 tablespoon water
- Green onions, sliced for garnish
- Cooked rice for serving
Instructions:
- In a large skillet, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat. Add the chicken pieces and cook until browned and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes.
- While the chicken is cooking, in a small bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, honey, rice vinegar, minced garlic, corn starch, and water. This will be the sticky sauce.
- Once the chicken is browned, reduce the heat to medium, and pour the sauce over the chicken in the skillet. Stir well to combine, ensuring all the chicken is coated in the sauce.
- Cook for an additional 3-4 minutes, allowing the sauce to thicken and become sticky. Stir frequently to prevent sticking or burning.
- Meanwhile, toast the sesame seeds in a small dry skillet over medium heat for about 2 minutes until they are golden brown.
- Once cooked, serve the sticky sesame chicken over a bed of cooked rice and garnish with toasted sesame seeds and sliced green onions.
- Enjoy your quick and delightful Sticky Sesame Chicken!
