To make this delicious dish, you will need the following ingredients:
For the marinade:
- 1/4 cup soy sauce

- 2 tablespoons honey
- 1 tablespoon sesame oil
- 1 tablespoon grated ginger
- 2 cloves garlic, minced

To start, combine all the marinade ingredients in a bowl and whisk until well combined. Add the chicken to the marinade and toss to coat. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or up to 2 hours.
When ready to cook, heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken and cook for 5-7 minutes, or until browned and cooked through. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
Add the sliced bell peppers and onion to the skillet and cook for 3-4 minutes, or until slightly softened. In a small bowl, whisk together the cornstarch and water. Add the cornstarch mixture to the skillet and stir until the sauce thickens.
Return the chicken to the skillet and toss to coat in the sauce. Garnish with sesame seeds and sliced green onions.
