Ingredients
Scale
1 lb Chicken breast, cut into bite-sized pieces
1/4 cup Soy sauce
1/4 cup Brown sugar
2 tablespoons Rice vinegar
1 tablespoon Sesame oil
2 cloves Garlic, minced
1 teaspoon Fresh ginger, grated
1 tablespoon Cornstarch
2 tablespoons Water
1 tablespoon Sesame seeds
2 Green onions, sliced (for garnish)
1/2 cup Sour cream
1/4 cup Mayonnaise
1 tablespoon Sesame oil
1 tablespoon Fresh chives, chopped
1 tablespoon Fresh parsley, chopped
1 teaspoon Garlic powder
1 teaspoon Onion powder
Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
In a medium bowl, combine soy sauce, brown sugar, rice vinegar, sesame oil, minced garlic, and grated ginger. Stir until well mixed.
Add the chicken pieces to the marinade, ensuring they are fully coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes or up to 2 hours for deeper flavor.
In a small bowl, mix cornstarch and water to create a slurry. Set aside.
Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the marinated chicken (reserve the marinade) and cook for about 5-7 minutes, stirring frequently, until the chicken is cooked through.
Pour the reserved marinade into the skillet. Bring it to a simmer and then stir in the cornstarch slurry. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until the sauce thickens.
Sprinkle sesame seeds over the chicken bites and garnish with sliced green onions. Remove from heat and set aside.
In a mixing bowl, combine sour cream, mayonnaise, sesame oil, chopped chives, chopped parsley, garlic powder, and onion powder.
Season with salt and pepper to taste. Mix until smooth and well combined.
Cover and refrigerate the ranch dip for at least 15 minutes to allow flavors to meld.
