Equipment

  • large nonstick skillet

Ingredients
  

For the Sauce

  • ½ cup honey
  • ½ cup low sodium soy sauce
  • 3 tablespoon Hoisin Sauce
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon fresh ginger, grated or minced fine
  • 2 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon toasted sesame oil
  • ¼-1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes optional
  • 3 green onions, sliced thin

For the Chicken

  • 2 tablespoon olive oil
  • 6 pieces boneless skinless chicken thighs can use chicken breast
  • salt and pepper to taste

Extras

  • sesame seeds
  • sliced green onion over cooked chicken

Instructions
 

Sauce

  • Add all the sauce ingredients to a small bowl. Whisk until incorporated and set aside.

Chicken

  • Season chicken with just a touch of salt and pepper. Heat oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium high heat and add chicken. Sear on the first side for 5 minutes, or until it's easy to flip and the chicken is a deep golden brown.
  • Sear on the opposite side for 5-8 minutes until deep golden brown. Remove the chicken from the pan when both sides are seared and put them on a plate.
  • Turn the heat down to medium and add sauce ingredients carefully. Cook sauce stirring often for 5 minutes; it will start to thicken a bit.
  • Add chicken back to the pan with the sauce and include the juice from the plate. Flip chicken to coat both sides.
  • Turn the heat down to medium low and continue to cook until sauce becomes thick and the chicken is cooked through, about 10 minutes.
  • Serve over your favorite side with a sprinkle of sesame seeds and sliced green onions.

Notes

Serve over rice, mashed potatoes, cauliflower rice, or quinoa.
