Ingredients
Scale
- 1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breasts or thighs
- 2 tablespoons sesame oil
- 3 tablespoons soy sauce or tamari for gluten-free
- 1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon fresh ginger, grated
- 2 tablespoons toasted sesame seeds
- 1 cup green onions, sliced
- 1 cup broccoli florets (optional)
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Begin by slicing the chicken into thin strips or bite-sized pieces. Season with salt and pepper.
- Heat 1 tablespoon sesame oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add chicken and cook until golden brown and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes. Remove from skillet and set aside.
- In the same skillet, add remaining sesame oil. Stir in garlic and ginger, cooking until fragrant (~30 seconds). Mix in soy sauce, honey, and toasted sesame seeds. Simmer for 2-3 minutes.
- Return chicken to skillet, tossing to coat with sesame sauce. Add broccoli if desired, cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until tender. Garnish with green onions before serving.
Notes
- Use fresh ginger and garlic for maximum flavor.
- Opt for low-sodium soy sauce to control salt intake.
- Toast sesame seeds beforehand for a richer nutty flavor.
- Customize vegetables like bell peppers or snap peas to suit your taste.
