3/4 cup granulated sugar
1/2 cup apple cider vinegar
1/4 cup ketchup
2 tablespoons low-sodium soy sauce
1 tablespoon sesame oil
1 tablespoon light brown sugar, packed
3 cloves garlic, pressed or finely minced
2 tablespoons cold water
1 tablespoon cornstarch
about 1.25 pounds boneless skinless chicken breasts, cut into 1-inch pieces
3 tablespoons cornstarch
salt and pepper, to taste
3 to 4 tablespoons olive oil, plus more if necessary
2 green onions, sliced into thin rounds, optional for garnishing

  • To a small bowl, add the water, cornstarch, and stir to combine.
  • Add the water and cornstarch mixture to saucepan, reduce heat to low, and allow sauce to simmer for about 5 minutes while you make the chicken; whisk intermittently.
  • To a large ziptop bag, add the chicken, cornstarch, salt and pepper to taste, seal, and shake to coat chicken evenly.
  • To a large skillet, add 3 to 4 tablespoons olive oil, chicken, and cook over medium-high heat for about 5 to 7 minutes, or until chicken has cooked through.
