Ingredients
Scale
- 1.5 pounds chicken thighs, boneless and skinless
- 5 garlic cloves, minced
- 1/3 cup soy sauce
- 1/4 cup honey
- 2 tablespoons cornstarch
- 1/4 cup water
- 1 teaspoon sesame oil
- 2 cups cooked white rice
- 1 bunch broccolini
- 1 tablespoon sesame seeds
Instructions
- Dice the chicken into bite-sized pieces and mince the garlic.
- Heat oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add chicken and cook until golden and cooked through, about 6 to 7 minutes.
- In a bowl, mix soy sauce, honey, water, cornstarch, sesame oil, and garlic until smooth.
- Pour the sauce into the skillet and stir until it thickens and coats the chicken, about 2 to 3 minutes.
- Steam the broccolini until tender and vibrant green.
- Serve the chicken over rice, add broccolini on the side, and sprinkle with sesame seeds.
Notes
- Use low-sodium soy sauce to avoid over-salting.
- Double the sauce if you prefer extra to drizzle over rice.
- Tofu can be used instead of chicken for a vegetarian version.
