1. Marinate the chicken

• In a bowl, combine chicken pieces with soy sauce, cornstarch, sesame oil, and black pepper
• Mix well to coat evenly and set aside for 10–15 minutes while you prepare the sauce

2. Make the scallion sauce

• In a small bowl, mix chopped scallions, minced garlic, grated ginger, soy sauce, vinegar, sesame oil, and honey
• Add red pepper flakes if desired
• Stir well and let sit for flavors to blend

3. Cook the chicken

• Heat olive oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat
• Add marinated chicken and cook for 6–8 minutes, stirring occasionally, until golden and cooked through
• Avoid overcrowding the pan—cook in batches if needed for even browning

4. Add the scallion sauce

• Reduce heat to medium and pour the scallion sauce into the skillet
• Stir well to coat the chicken and cook for another 2–3 minutes
• The sauce will reduce slightly and become glossy

5. Serve and garnish

• Remove from heat and transfer chicken to a serving dish
• Sprinkle with extra scallions and toasted sesame seeds
• Serve hot with steamed rice, noodles, or fresh greens
