Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Begin by patting the boneless, skinless chicken dry with paper towels. Cut the chicken into bite-sized pieces and then toss them in a bowl with cornstarch, salt, and black pepper until evenly coated.
  2. Place a large skillet over medium-high heat and add the olive oil, allowing it to warm up for about a minute.
  3. Carefully add the chicken pieces to the hot skillet in a single layer, ensuring not to overcrowd the pan. Cook the chicken for about 3-4 minutes, then flip and cook for an additional 3-4 minutes.
  4. Lower the heat to medium and add the minced garlic to the same skillet. Sauté the garlic for about 30 seconds or until fragrant.
  5. Pour the honey, soy sauce, and rice vinegar into the skillet, stirring to combine all the ingredients. Allow the mixture to simmer for 1-2 minutes.
  6. Return the cooked chicken to the skillet and toss it gently in the honey garlic sauce for another 1-2 minutes.
  7. Finally, remove the skillet from heat and sprinkle sliced green onions and sesame seeds over the chicken bites. Serve immediately.
