Healthier Honey Sesame Chicken

Ingredients

• 0.33 cups honey
• 0.25 cups ketchup
• 0.25 cups olive oil
• 2 tablespoons sesame seeds
• 2 tablespoons low-sodium soy sauce
• 1 tablespoon freshly squeezed lemon juice
• 1 tablespoon Sriracha sauce
• 0.5 teaspoons salt
• 0.5 teaspoons ground black pepper
• 0.5 teaspoons garlic powder
• 0.5 teaspoons ground ginger
• 1 pound chicken breast , cut into 1-inch cubes

Instructions

1. 1

   Mix honey, ketchup, oil, sesame seeds, soy sauce, lemon juice, Sriracha sauce, salt, pepper, garlic powder, and ginger in a medium bowl until well combined. Add chicken pieces and stir to coat. Cover the bowl and refrigerate for 2 to 6 hours.

2. 2

   Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).

3. 3

   Transfer chicken and sauce into an oven-proof dish.

4. 4

   Bake in the preheated oven for 8 minutes. Remove from the oven and turn chicken pieces over. Continue baking until chicken is no longer pink in the center and the juices run clear, 5 to 8 more minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).
