Ingredients
- 3 skinless, boneless chicken breasts (about 2 pounds)
- 1/4 cup lite soy sauce or Gluten Free Tamari
- 2 teaspoons sesame seed oil
- 1 knuckle freshly grated ginger root
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- Kosher or sea salt to taste
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- 1/4 cup honey
- 2 tablespoons toasted Sesame seeds (see video below)
Directions
Cut chicken into 1" cubes. In a small mixing bowl combine soy sauce, sesame seed oil, grated ginger, garlic, balsamic vinegar, black pepper and salt. Pour mixture over chicken and toss to coat. Cover chicken, place in the refrigerator and marinate 2-3 hours.
Heat a large skillet to medium-high, add chicken along with marinade to the skillet. Cook chicken until done, about 8-10 minutes. In a small bowl, whisk together cornstarch and honey, add to the chicken and continue cooking just until a glaze forms and the liquid thickens. Garnish with toasted sesame seeds when serving.
Serving suggestions: serve over a bed of brown rice or quinoa, or add to lettuce for a wrap.
