Ingredients
- 1 lb chicken breast or tenderloin (skinless, boneless), cut into 1-inch cubes
- ¾ tsp kosher salt Diamond Crystal brand
- 2 tbsp Dijon mustard
- 2 tsp soy sauce low-sodium
- 1 tsp agave syrup or honey or maple syrup
- ¼ tsp five-spice powder
- ¼ tsp ground ginger
- ¼ tsp garlic powder
- neutral oil
- sesame seeds optional topping
- scallions optional topping
Instructions
- Prep your chicken by removing any skin and cutting them into 1-inch cubed pieces.
- Place the chicken into a food storage container, sprinkle with salt, and mix to make sure it’s coated thoroughly.
- In a separate mixing bowl, combine the Dijon mustard, soy sauce, agave, five spice, ginger powder, and garlic powder. Mix until incorporated.
- Pour the marinade over the chicken and coat thoroughly. Cover with the lid and place it in the fridge. Marinade for 4 hours, mixing the chicken at the halfway point for even absorption. Then remove chicken from fridge 30 minutes before cooking to let it come to room temperature on the counter.
- In a saute pan over medium heat, add one tablespoon of oil.
- Cook the chicken in batches. Add the chicken to the pan in an even layer without crowding. Let it sear for about 1-2 minutes or until it lifts itself from the pan. Add more oil if necessary. Turn over and cook for another 1-2 minutes.
- Chicken is done when it reaches 165 °F internally with a thermometer.
- Transfer to a plate and add optional toppings. Serve.
