Healthier Honey Sesame Chicken

Recipe View In a medium bowl, whisk together the honey, ketchup, olive oil, sesame seeds, soy sauce, lemon juice, Sriracha, salt, pepper, garlic powder, and ginger until well combined. (2 minutes)

Recipe View Add the chicken cubes to the bowl and stir to ensure each piece is evenly coated in the honey-sesame mixture. (1 minute)

Recipe View Cover the bowl tightly with plastic wrap or transfer the chicken to a resealable bag. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or up to 6 hours, to allow the flavors to meld and the chicken to marinate. (2-6 hours)

Recipe View Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). (5 minutes)

Recipe View Transfer the marinated chicken and all of the sauce to a baking dish in a single layer.

Recipe View Bake in the preheated oven for 8 minutes. Remove from the oven and flip each chicken piece over to ensure even cooking.

Recipe View Return the dish to the oven and continue baking until the chicken is cooked through, no longer pink in the center, and the juices run clear when pierced with a fork. This should take approximately 5 to 8 minutes more. (5-8 minutes)

Recipe View Use an instant-read thermometer to check the internal temperature of the chicken. It should register at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C) at its thickest point.

Recipe View Serve immediately over steamed rice or your favorite grain. Garnish with extra sesame seeds and sliced green onions, if desired.
