Creating Honey Garlic Chicken is straightforward if you follow these simple steps:

1. Prepare the Chicken: Cut the chicken into bite-sized pieces for even cooking.
2. Make the Sauce: In a bowl, whisk together honey, soy sauce, minced garlic, rice vinegar, sesame oil, and black pepper.
3. Cook the Chicken: Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken pieces and cook until they are browned and cooked through, approximately 5-7 minutes.
4. Add the Sauce: Pour the prepared sauce over the cooked chicken in the skillet. Stir to coat the chicken evenly.
5. Thicken the Sauce: Mix cornstarch with water in a small bowl until smooth. Add this mixture to the skillet, stirring continuously until the sauce thickens, about 2-3 minutes.
6. Serve: Once the sauce has thickened, remove the skillet from heat. Garnish with sliced green onions and sesame seeds if desired.
7. Enjoy: Serve the Honey Garlic Chicken hot over rice or alongside steamed vegetables.
