Soy Garlic Chicken

Ingredients

• 1½ lb boneless, skinless chicken thighs
• ½ cup soy sauce
• ¼ cup honey
• 4 clove garlic
• 1 tbsp ginger
• 1 tbsp sesame oil
• 1 tbsp cornstarch
• 2 tbsp water
• 1 tbsp vegetable oil
• 1 tsp sesame seeds (optional)
• 2 green onions (optional)

Steps

1. Cut chicken thighs into 1-inch pieces. Mince garlic and grate ginger.
2. In a bowl, whisk together soy sauce, honey, minced garlic, grated ginger, and sesame oil.
3. In a separate small bowl, dissolve cornstarch in water to create a slurry.
4. Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add chicken pieces and cook until browned on all sides, about 5-7 minutes.
5. Pour the soy garlic sauce over the chicken. Bring to a simmer, then stir in the cornstarch slurry.
6. Cook, stirring constantly, until the sauce thickens and coats the chicken, about 2-3 minutes.
7. Remove from heat. Garnish with sesame seeds and sliced green onions, if desired.
8. Serve immediately with rice or noodles.
