Instructions

- In a saucepan over medium heat, combine 1 cup water, sriracha, soy sauce, garlic, ginger, sugar, and honey. Stir and bring to a simmer.
- Add the cornstarch mixture to the saucepan, stirring constantly until the sauce thickens, about 2-3 minutes. Remove from heat and set aside.
- In a large skillet, heat 2 tbsp sesame oil over medium-high heat. Add the diced chicken breasts and cook until golden brown and cooked through, about 6-8 minutes.
- Pour the prepared sauce over the chicken in the skillet. Stir to coat the chicken evenly with the sauce.

- Serve immediately, garnished with additional sriracha or red pepper flakes if desired.
