Description

A delightful combination of savory and sweet flavors, making it a perfect weeknight dinner with tender chicken in a luscious sauce paired with fluffy rice.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups cooked rice
  • 1 lb chicken breast, diced
  • 1/4 cup soy sauce
  • 1/4 cup honey
  • 2 tablespoons rice vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon sesame oil
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon ginger, grated
  • 2 green onions, chopped
  • Sesame seeds for garnish

Instructions

  1. In a bowl, mix soy sauce, honey, rice vinegar, sesame oil, minced garlic, and grated ginger until well combined to create the sauce.
  2. Heat a skillet over medium heat. Add the diced chicken and cook until browned and no longer pink inside.
  3. Pour the sauce over the chicken, stirring to coat. Continue cooking for another 2-3 minutes.
  4. Serve the sticky chicken over a bed of cooked rice and sprinkle with chopped green onions and sesame seeds before enjoying.

Notes

Feel free to substitute chicken for tofu for a vegetarian option or use brown rice for a whole-grain twist. Marinating the chicken in the sauce for 30 minutes before cooking can enhance the flavor.
