Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 lb boneless, skinless chicken thighs
- 3 tbsp soy sauce
- 2 tbsp hoisin sauce
- 1 tbsp honey
- 1 tsp sesame oil
- 1 tsp rice vinegar
- 2 cloves minced garlic
- 1 tsp minced ginger
- 1 tbsp vegetable oil
- 2 green onions, sliced
- 1 tsp sesame seeds
Instructions
Cut the boneless, skinless chicken thighs into bite-sized pieces and set them aside.
In a small bowl, mix together soy sauce, hoisin sauce, honey, sesame oil, rice vinegar, minced garlic, and minced ginger to create the marinade.
Add the chicken pieces to the marinade and toss to coat evenly. Let the chicken marinate for 10-15 minutes while you prepare the other ingredients.
Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat.
Once the oil is hot, add the marinated chicken to the pan. Cook for 6-8 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the chicken is browned and cooked through.
Pour any remaining marinade into the pan and let it simmer with the chicken for an additional 2-3 minutes until the sauce thickens slightly.
Remove the skillet from the heat and garnish the chicken with sliced green onions and sesame seeds.
Serve the Easy Asian Chicken over steamed rice or alongside stir-fried vegetables for a complete meal.
