Ingredients
- 4 whole chicken breasts, (skinless and boneless (cut into 1 inch pieces))
- 5 cloves garlic, (minced)
- 1 tablespoon fresh ginger, (grated)
- 1 tablespoon lemon zest
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon low sodium soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon vinegar
- 1 tablespoon corn starch
- 2/3 cup honey
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 2 tablespoons parsley, (fresh, chopped for garnish (optional))
- 1 teaspoon sesame seeds, (for garnish (optional))
- 1-2 whole Thai red chilies, (thinly sliced, for garnish (optional))
Instructions
- In a large skillet, over medium heat, add a little olive oil and saute the chicken until cooked through. Keeping the chicken pieces in a single layer and not overcrowding the pan is a great way to cook the chicken quickly and evenly. This should take about 5-7 minutes total. Season with salt and pepper.
- While the chicken is cooking, whisk together all other ingredients until well combined.
- Remove the cooked chicken from the skillet and set aside.
- Pour the sauce mixture into the skillet, turn the heat to high, and whisk sauce while cooking until thickened. (The sauce should thicken to the consistency of cold maple syrup.)
- Add the chicken back to the skillet and stir to combine and coat with the sauce. Keeping the heat high, and the chicken in a single layer - at least as much as possible - stir the chicken, cooking on all sides. The sauce will stick to the chicken and caramelize. This will take about 3-4 minutes.
- Remove from skillet to serving plate. Garnish with sesame seeds, and freshly sliced Thai chilies. (Optional) Serve immediately.
