Sesame Chicken with Rice

Step 1

Cut the 1.5 lb chicken breast into 1-inch pieces and toss with the 1/4 cup cornstarch, 1/2 tsp salt, and 1/4 tsp pepper until evenly coated.

Step 2

Heat 2 tbsp vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken in a single layer and cook until golden and cooked through, about 6-8 minutes, turning occasionally.

Step 3

In a small bowl, whisk together the 1/4 cup soy sauce, 3 tbsp honey, and 1 tbsp sesame oil.

Step 4

Pour the sauce over the cooked chicken and stir to coat. Cook for 1-2 minutes until the sauce thickens and clings to the chicken.

Step 5

Stir in the 2 tbsp sesame seeds and 2 sliced green onions. Cook for 1 minute more.

Step 6

Serve the sesame chicken over the 3 cups cooked rice, garnished with extra green onions and cilantro if you have them.
