Ingredients
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1/2 cup honey
- 3 tablespoons soy sauce
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon ginger, grated
- 1/2 teaspoon Chinese five spice powder
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- Sesame seeds and green onions for garnish
Instructions
- In a bowl, mix together honey, soy sauce, garlic, ginger, Chinese five spice powder, and black pepper to make the glaze.
- Cut the chicken breasts into bite-sized pieces and place them in a large resealable plastic bag. Pour half of the glaze over the chicken, seal the bag, and marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes.
- Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the marinated chicken pieces and cook until golden and cooked through, about 6-8 minutes.
- Pour the remaining glaze into the skillet and toss the chicken to coat evenly. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until the glaze thickens and coats the chicken.
- Transfer the honey glazed chicken to a serving platter, garnish with sesame seeds and chopped green onions, and serve hot.
