20-Minute Honey Sesame Chicken (Recipe 77 of 125)

Recipe from 12Tomatoes

I made the same mistake with this recipe I make with every Asian type recipe that has a sauce. I used regular soy sauce!! It was too salty for me. I'll make this again and split the soy with water or use low sodium soy sauce.

This is an easy recipe and super flavorful (aside from the too salty part). 

20-Minute Honey Sesame Chicken

Recipe from 12 Tomatoes

Serves 4

• 1 lb boneless skinless chicken breasts, cut into 1/2-inch pieces
• 2 T cornstarch
• 2 T sesame oil, divided
• 1/4 c soy sauce
• 2 T honey
• 1 tsp sriracha
• 1/2 tsp ground ginger
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 2 T sesame seeds
• Scallions, chopped, for serving
• White rice, for serving
• Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste

In a medium bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, honey, sriracha, ginger, garlic, sesame seeds, and 1 tablespoon of the sesame oil. Set aside.

In a large bowl, season the chicken with salt and pepper and toss with cornstarch.

Heat a large skillet over high heat at least 2 minutes. Add oil and chicken to pan and stir fry until golden brown, 5-6 minutes.

Add sauce and let simmer until thickened and sticky, 3-4 minutes.

Serve over white rice and sprinkle with scallions and more sesame seeds, if desired. Enjoy!
