Ingredients:
For the Chicken:
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts or thighs
- 2 tbsp vegetable oil
- Salt and pepper to taste
For the Marinade and Sauce:
- 1/2 cup Tupat’s Hawaiian Poke Sauce
- 1/4 cup soy sauce
- 2 tbsp honey
- 2 tbsp rice vinegar
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 tsp fresh ginger, grated
- 1 tbsp sesame oil
For Garnish (optional):
- 2 green onions, chopped
- 1 tbsp sesame seeds, toasted
- Fresh cilantro leaves
Instructions:
Marinate the Chicken:
- In a bowl, combine Tupat’s Hawaiian Poke Sauce, soy sauce, honey, rice vinegar, minced garlic, grated ginger, and sesame oil. Mix well.
- Place the chicken breasts or thighs in a resealable plastic bag or shallow dish. Pour half of the marinade over the chicken, making sure it’s well-coated. Reserve the remaining marinade for later.
- Seal the bag or cover the dish and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or up to 4 hours for more flavor.
Cook the Chicken:
- Preheat the Skillet: Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
- Cook the Chicken: Remove the chicken from the marinade and discard the used marinade. Season the chicken with a little salt and pepper.
- Sear the Chicken: Place the chicken in the hot skillet and cook for 5-7 minutes per side, or until the chicken is golden brown and cooked through (internal temperature should reach 165°F or 75°C). Adjust the cooking time based on the thickness of the chicken.
Make the Sauce:
- While the chicken is cooking, pour the reserved marinade into a small saucepan. Bring to a simmer over medium heat.
- Cook for 3-5 minutes, or until the sauce has slightly thickened. Be sure to stir occasionally.
Serve:
- Slice the cooked chicken into strips or leave whole, as desired.
- Drizzle the thickened sauce over the chicken.
- Garnish with chopped green onions, toasted sesame seeds, and fresh cilantro leaves if desired.
Accompaniments:
- Serve the chicken over steamed rice or quinoa, with a side of sautéed or steamed vegetables for a complete meal.
