InstructionsInstructionsInstructions
Cut chicken into bite-sized pieces and place in a bowl.
In a separate bowl, combine soy sauce, honey, garlic, ginger, rice vinegar, cornstarch, and sesame oil to make the sauce. Mix until well combined.
Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add chicken and cook until browned and almost cooked through, about 5-6 minutes.
Pour the sauce over the chicken and bring to a simmer. Cook for 2-3 minutes until the sauce thickens and chicken is fully cooked.
While the chicken is cooking, steam the broccoli until tender-crisp, about 4-5 minutes.
Sprinkle sesame seeds and sliced green onions over the chicken.
Serve the sesame chicken alongside steamed broccoli, with additional sauce drizzled on top if desired.
