Step 1

Lightly season the boneless chicken with salt and pepper on both sides.

Step 2

Pan fry the chicken for about 5-6 minutes on one side, then another 5-6 minutes on the other side until golden and fully cooked-through. Set aside.

Step 3

In the same pan, add in the water, honey, soy sauce, hoisin sauce, five-spice powder, grated ginger, and minced garlic. Mix until smooth and let simmer over medium-high heat for about 1-2 minutes until thickened and bubbly.

Step 4

Add the cooked chicken back into the pan. Baste the sauce all over the chicken until it's fully coated in the sticky five-spice sauce.

Step 5

Top with chopped scallions and toasted sesame seeds. Serve with a side of warm rice and veggies, if desired. Enjoy!
