Ingredients
  

  • 2 to 2.5 lbs Boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into 1-inch pieces Use boneless chicken breasts for a leaner option.
  • ½ cup Corn starch
  • 1 cup Filtered water
  • ⅓ cup Low sodium soy sauce
  • ⅓ cup Honey
  • 1 to 2 tablespoon Sriracha sauce
  • 3 cloves Garlic, minced
  • 2 tablespoon Corn starch (for thickening)
  • 2 tablespoon Cold water
  • Sesame seeds
  • Chives, sliced

Instructions
 

  • In a medium saucepan, combine water, soy sauce, honey, sriracha, and minced garlic. Set burner to medium heat and bring the mixture to a boil while stirring occasionally.
  • In a small dish, mix 2 tablespoons of corn starch with 2 tablespoons of cold water until it dissolves. Pour this slurry into the saucepan and stir until the sauce thickens. Once thickened, reduce the heat to low.
  • Place chicken pieces in a large zip-top bag and sprinkle with corn starch. Seal the bag and shake until all the chicken pieces are evenly coated.
  • Heat a large non-stick pan over medium heat and lightly coat with oil. Add the coated chicken in a single layer and sauté until it's cooked through, cooking in batches if necessary.
  • Once the chicken is fully cooked, turn off the heat. Pour the thickened sauce over the chicken, stirring well to coat it completely. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  • Serve over white rice, garnished with sesame seeds and sliced chives.

Notes

  • Ensure each piece of chicken is fully coated with corn starch for a crispy texture.
  • Adjust spice level to your preference, and consider making extra for leftovers.
