Sesame Chicken

Sesame Chicken

3-4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts

1/2 C honey

1/2 C soy sauce

1 C water

2 Tbsp cornstarch

1 1/2 tsp ground ginger

1/4 - 1 tsp red pepper flakes (to taste)

A few drops of sesame oil, if desired

1 Tbsp sesame seeds, toasted

1 head broccoli, cut into bite-size pieces

1 red pepper, sliced

1 pkg. frozen baby snap peas, thawed

Rice, cooked

Cut chicken breast into cubes. Heat a large non-stick skillet that has been sprayed with non-stick spray, over medium-high heat. Cook chicken for about 6 minutes or until no longer pink. 

Meanwhile, mix together honey, soy sauce, water, cornstarch, ginger, red pepper flakes, and sesame oil if using. Whisk until the cornstarch is mixed in and the mixture is smooth. Set aside.

Cook broccoli and red pepper just until crisp tender. Set aside.

Pour sauce over chicken and bring to a boil. Lower heat and allow to simmer, covered, for 5 minutes. Add broccoli, red pepper, and snap peas; stir gently to coat with sauce. Simmer, covered, for another 5 minutes or until sauce is thick and everything is heated through. Sprinkle with sesame seeds and stir gently.

Serve over rice.
