Marinate the chicken by combining honey, soy sauce, garlic, and sesame oil in a bowl. Add chicken and coat well. Refrigerate for at least 15 minutes.
Prepare a cornstarch coating in a shallow dish.
Remove marinated chicken and dredge in cornstarch for an even coating.
Cook coated chicken in a hot sauté pan with oil for 5-7 minutes on each side until golden and cooked through.
Glaze with leftover marinade, boil, and reduce for 2-3 minutes before drizzling over chicken.
Garnish with green onions and sesame seeds before serving.

For a juicier option, you can substitute chicken thighs for the breasts.
