Instructions

Pat chicken dry and season both sides with salt and pepper.
In a bowl, whisk together honey, soy sauce, garlic, and apple cider vinegar to make the sauce.
Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
Cook chicken for 5–7 minutes per side until golden and fully cooked through.
Pour honey garlic sauce into the skillet and simmer for 2–3 minutes until slightly thickened.
Remove from heat and sprinkle with sesame seeds and chopped green onions.
Serve with extra sauce drizzled over the chicken.

Notes

Add red pepper flakes or sriracha for a spicy kick.
