Ingredients
Scale
- 1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breasts or thighs, cut into bite-sized pieces
- 3 tablespoons soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons honey or maple syrup
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon fresh ginger, grated
- 1/4 cup sweet chili sauce
- 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
- 1 teaspoon cornstarch (optional, for thicker sauce)
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- Sesame seeds and chopped green onions for garnish
Instructions
- Marinate the chicken in soy sauce, honey, garlic, and ginger for at least 15 minutes.
- Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat, then cook the chicken until browned and cooked through, about 7-10 minutes. Remove from pan.
- In the same skillet, pour in sweet chili sauce, rice vinegar, and water if needed. Simmer gently. For thicker sauce, stir in a mixture of cornstarch and water, cook until it slightly thickens.
- Return cooked chicken to the skillet, toss to coat evenly with the sauce. Garnish with sesame seeds and chopped green onions.
Notes
- Adjust the spice level by adding more or less sweet chili sauce.
- For a healthier version, bake or grill the chicken instead of frying.
- Use fresh garlic and ginger for maximum flavor.
