Description

A delightful recipe featuring tender chicken breast coated in a sweet and savory sticky sauce, perfect for busy weeknights or family gatherings.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 chicken breasts
  • 1/4 cup soy sauce
  • 1/4 cup honey
  • 2 tablespoons rice vinegar
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon grated ginger
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch
  • Cooked rice or quinoa
  • Steamed vegetables (broccoli, bell peppers, etc.)
  • Sesame seeds for garnish
  • Green onions, chopped for garnish


Instructions

  1. Whisk together soy sauce, honey, rice vinegar, garlic, ginger, and cornstarch until smooth.
  2. Cut chicken into bite-sized pieces and marinate in the sauce for at least 30 minutes.
  3. Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add the marinated chicken. Cook until the chicken is cooked through and the sauce has thickened, about 6-8 minutes.

Notes

Marinating for longer enhances flavor. Can substitute chicken with tofu or shrimp.
