Steps

1Pat chicken dry and season lightly with salt and pepper.

2Heat 1 tbsp sesame oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Working in batches if needed, cook chicken until golden and cooked through, about 8 minutes. Transfer to a plate.

3In a small bowl, whisk together honey, soy sauce, rice vinegar, garlic, ginger, and remaining 1 tbsp sesame oil.

4Return chicken to the skillet. Pour the honey-sesame mixture over it and stir to coat.

5In a small cup, mix cornstarch and water into a slurry. Drizzle into the sauce while stirring, cooking for 2 minutes until glossy and thickened.

6Taste and adjust seasoning. Top with green onion and sesame seeds. Serve over rice.
