Main Ingredients
- 1.5 lbs boneless skinless chicken thighs
- 1 cup cornstarch
- 0.5 cup all-purpose flour
- 0.25 cup soy sauce
- 0.25 cup honey
- 0.25 cup sweet chili sauce

Instructions
Preparation Steps
- Trim excess fat from chicken and cut into 1-inch pieces.
- In a large bowl, combine cornstarch and flour with a pinch of salt. Toss chicken pieces in the coating until evenly coated.
- Heat 1-2 tablespoons oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Fry coated chicken in batches until golden and cooked through; drain on paper towels.
- In a small bowl, whisk together soy sauce, honey, sweet chili sauce, rice vinegar, sesame oil, minced garlic, and grated ginger to make the sauce.
- In the same skillet, add sliced bell pepper and broccoli; sauté 2-3 minutes until crisp-tender. Pour in the sauce; simmer 1-2 minutes until slightly thickened.
- Return chicken to the pan and toss to coat with the sauce. Cook 1 minute to combine flavors. Serve hot over steamed rice; garnish with sesame seeds if desired.
Notes
Best served immediately with steamed jasmine rice.
