Quick Ginger Soy Glazed Chicken

• Chicken Breast

  2 pieces
• Soy Sauce

  4 tablespoons
• Fresh Ginger

  1 inch piece
• Garlic

  2 cloves
• Sesame Oil

  1 tablespoon
• Honey

  1 tablespoon

  2 tablespoons
• Vegetable Oil

  1 tablespoon
• Green Onions

  2 stalks
• Uncooked White Rice

  0.5 cup

All Steps

1. 1

   Prepare chicken: Slice chicken breasts horizontally to create thinner cutlets, or cube them into 1-inch pieces.

2. 2

   Prepare sauce: In a small bowl, whisk together soy sauce, grated fresh ginger, minced garlic, sesame oil, and honey.

3. 3

   Prepare slurry: In a separate tiny bowl, mix cornstarch with water to form a smooth slurry.

4. 4

   Cook chicken: Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet or non-stick pan over medium-high heat. Add chicken and cook for 3-5 minutes per side (for cutlets) or until browned and cooked through (for cubes). Remove chicken from skillet and set aside.

5. 5

   Glaze chicken: Pour the soy-ginger mixture into the hot skillet. Bring to a simmer, then stir in the cornstarch slurry. Cook, stirring constantly, until the sauce thickens into a glaze, about 1-2 minutes.

6. 6

   Combine: Return chicken to the skillet and toss to coat evenly with the glaze.

7. 7

   Serve: Serve immediately over freshly steamed white rice, garnished with sliced green onions.
