Instructions

Thinly slice the green onions, dividing the whites and greens.

In a small bowl, combine hoisin, water, vinegar, soy sauce, and sesame oil. Set aside.

Season the chicken with garlic powder, salt and pepper.

Heat oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken and cook for 3 to 4 minutes. Flip it over and cook an additional 3 to 4 minutes or until cooked through. Transfer the chicken to a cutting board to rest.

Add the whites of the green onions to the skillet and cook for 1 minute. Add the sauce to the skillet and simmer for 2 to 3 minutes until slightly thickened. While simmering, slice the chicken into strips and add to the skillet with any juices. Toss to coat and cook for 2 to 4 minutes until the sauce is thickened and the chicken is hot.

Serve over rice and garnish with the greens of the green onion and toasted sesame seeds.
