Ingredients
Instructions
Cut the chicken into bite-sized pieces or keep whole based on your preference. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat, then add the chicken.
Cook the chicken for 4–5 minutes per side (or until browned and cooked through if whole). Ensure the chicken is fully cooked before proceeding.
In a small bowl, whisk together honey, soy sauce, vinegar, and black pepper. Add the minced garlic directly to the skillet with the chicken and sauté for 30 seconds until fragrant.
Pour the honey sauce mixture over the chicken and reduce heat to medium-low. Let the sauce simmer for 3–4 minutes to meld flavors together.
Stir in the cornstarch slurry and continue cooking for 2–3 minutes more, stirring occasionally until the sauce thickens and coats the chicken nicely.
Remove from heat and garnish with sesame seeds and sliced green onions. Serve hot over rice, noodles, or steamed vegetables for a complete meal.
