Instructions

Season chicken pieces with salt and pepper.
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
Add the chicken to the skillet and cook until browned and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes.
In a small bowl, mix honey, soy sauce, sriracha, garlic, and ginger.
Pour the sauce over the cooked chicken and stir to coat evenly.
In a separate bowl, mix cornstarch and water to make a slurry, then add to the skillet.
Cook for another 2-3 minutes, or until the sauce thickens.
Remove from heat and garnish with green onions and sesame seeds if desired.
Serve hot over rice or with steamed vegetables.

Notes

Adjust the amount of sriracha based on your heat preference.
This dish pairs well with jasmine rice or quinoa.
You can substitute chicken with tofu for a vegetarian version.
