Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup Long Grain Rice or minute rice
  • 1/2 cup Honey
  • 1/3 cup Low Sodium Soy Sauce
  • 3 cloves Garlic grated or minced
  • 1 piece Fresh Ginger 1", grated or minced
  • 1 teaspoon Sesame Oil
  • 2 teaspoons Asian Chili Sauce
  • 2 large Egg Whites
  • 1/4 cup Cornstarch

  • 2 tablespoons Canola Oil

Instructions
 

  • Cook rice according to the package directions.
  • In a large bowl whisk together eggs whites and cornstarch. It will take a minute for it to really come together. Add pieces of chicken and toss to coat.
  • In a large skillet heat canola oil over medium high heat. Add chicken. Sauté for 3-4 minutes per side, until cooked all the way through.
  • Meanwhile in a small bowl combine honey, soy sauce, garlic, ginger, sesame oil, and chili sauce. Whisk until combined.
  • Once the chicken is browned and cooked through, pour in the sauce mixture. Bring to a simmer, stirring constantly. Once chicken is well coated remove from heat.
  • Serve over rice sprinkled with sesame seeds.
