Baked Honey Garlic Chicken

We eat a lot of Chinese food at home because it is surprisingly one of the few things my toddlers love. This is a take-out favorite that is healthier, cheaper and so much tastier! When I'm making this for the whole family, I leave out the Sriracha. If it's just for me and the hubs, I'll make it extra spicy. 

Prep time: 15 mins
Cook time: 20 mins
Makes: 4 servings

INGREDIENTS:
1lb boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into 1-inch chunks
Salt and pepper, to taste
2 large eggs, beaten
1 cup Panko

For the honey garlic sauce:
1/3 cup honey
4 cloves garlic, minced
2 tbsp soy sauce
1 tbsp Sriracha, optional
1 tbsp cornstarch
2 green onions, thinly sliced
2 tsps sesame seeds

DIRECTIONS:
Preheat oven to 400 degrees.  Lightly oil a 9x13 baking dish or coat with nonstick spray. Season chicken with salt and pepper to taste. Working in batches, dip chicken into eggs, then dredge in Panko, pressing to coat.

Add chicken to prepared baking dish. Place into oven and bake until golden brown and crisp, about 15-20 mins.

Meanwhile, in a saucepan over medium heat, combine honey, garlic, soy sauce and Sriracha. In a small bowl, combine cornstarch and 1/3 cup of water. Stir mixture into the saucepan until thickened, about 1-2 minutes. Stir in chicken and gently toss to combine. 

Serve immediately, garnished with green onions and sesame seeds, if desired .
