Ingredients

1/2 cup soy sauce (120 grams)
1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
4 garlic cloves minced
3 tablespoons honey
2 tablespoons fresh grated ginger see note
1 tablespoon chile paste
1 tablespoon corn starch
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 pound boneless skinless chicken breasts cut into bite sized pieces (453.6 grams)
scallions for garnish
sesame seeds for garnish

Instructions

I recommend serving this over rice and with some steamed broccoli to make this a full meal. Begin the rice before you prepare the rest of the dish so that it is finished when the chicken is. My Instant Pot Rice is a great choice.
Whisk together the soy sauce, apple cider vinegar, garlic, honey, ginger, chile paste, and cornstarch.
1/2 cup soy sauce, 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar, 4 garlic cloves, 3 tablespoons honey, 2 tablespoons fresh grated ginger, 1 tablespoon chile paste, 1 tablespoon corn starch
Set a large skillet over medium heat and add the olive oil. Heat the olive oil and then add the chicken, cooking until no longer pink, about 4 minutes. Pour the sauce over the chicken and cook for an additional 1 to 2 minutes or until the sauce begins to thicken.
2 tablespoons olive oil, 1 pound boneless skinless chicken breasts
Serve over rice and garnish with sesame seeds and cut-up scallions.

Notes

Ginger can be added one of two ways. You can buy ginger root and grate that into the dish. Or you can buy a tube of ginger that is already grated. The tube is more expensive, but so easy to keep on hand that it makes it worth it.
