Ingredients
Scale
- 1 lb (450g) boneless, skinless chicken breasts or thighs, cut into bite-sized pieces
- 2 tablespoons olive oil or sesame oil
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon fresh ginger, grated
- 1/4 cup low-sodium soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons honey or maple syrup
- 2 tablespoons rice vinegar
- 2 teaspoons toasted sesame oil
- 2 tablespoons sesame seeds
- 1 cup broccoli florets or mixed vegetables
- Optional: sliced green onions and red pepper flakes for garnish
Instructions
- Marinate chicken pieces in soy sauce, ginger, and garlic for about 15 minutes.
- Heat 1 tablespoon of oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook chicken until golden and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes. Remove and set aside.
- In the same skillet, add remaining oil and sauté garlic and ginger until fragrant, about 30 seconds.
- Add vegetables and cook until tender-crisp, about 3-4 minutes.
- Mix soy sauce, honey, rice vinegar, and toasted sesame oil to make the sauce. Pour into the skillet and simmer for 2-3 minutes until slightly thickened.
- Return cooked chicken to the skillet, tossing to coat in the sesame sauce.
- Sprinkle with toasted sesame seeds and chopped green onions. Serve hot over steamed rice or cauliflower rice.
Notes
- Use skinless chicken for lower fat content.
- Marinate briefly to enhance flavor and tenderness.
- Adjust sweetness with honey or maple syrup as preferred.
- Toast sesame seeds beforehand for a richer nutty flavor.
- Serve immediately for the best texture and flavor.
