Quick & Easy Sesame Honey Chicken Recipe
Tender bite-sized chicken tossed in a simple sesame-honey sauce for a fast weeknight dinner.
Equipment
- Cutting Board
- Chef’s knife
- Large Skillet
- Spatula or wooden spoon
- Measuring Cups
Ingredients
- 5 boneless skinless chicken breasts cut into 1 x 1-inch bite-sized cubes
- 1/4 cup low-sodium chicken broth no sugar added
- 1/4 cup roasted sesame seeds
- 1/4 cup honey
Instructions
- Trim any excess fat from the chicken breasts and cut into roughly 1 x 1-inch bite-sized cubes.
- Heat a large skillet over medium-high, add the cubed chicken and the 1/4 cup low-sodium chicken broth, and bring to a gentle boil.
- Reduce heat to medium and continue cooking, stirring occasionally, until the chicken is nearly cooked through (no longer pink inside).
- Stir in the 1/4 cup honey and 1/4 cup roasted sesame seeds, mixing thoroughly to coat the chicken.
- Cook, stirring frequently, until the liquid has mostly evaporated and the chicken is lightly golden and coated with the sesame-honey glaze.
- Remove from heat and serve immediately.
Notes
- My preferred honey is raw Y.S. ECO for a mild, creamy flavor.
- Cut chicken into uniform pieces for even cooking.
- Use low-sodium broth to control saltiness.
- Toast sesame seeds beforehand if they are not already roasted.
