Cuisine: American

Cooking time: 50 minutes

Serves: 4

Ingredients

1.5 pounds boneless, skinless chicken breasts
1 tablespoon sesame oil
1/4 cup low-sodium soy sauce
2 tablespoons fresh ginger, minced
3 cloves garlic, minced
2 tablespoons honey or agave syrup
1 tablespoon sesame seeds
2 cups steamed broccoli
2 cups cooked brown rice

Instructions

1. In a mixing bowl, combine sesame oil, soy sauce, minced ginger, minced garlic, and honey to create the marinade.
2. Add the chicken breasts to the marinade, ensuring they are fully coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
3. Preheat a grill or skillet over medium heat and remove the chicken from the marinade, reserving the marinade for later.
4. Cook the chicken for about 6-7 minutes on each side, or until fully cooked and the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C). Brush the reserved marinade over the chicken during the last few minutes of cooking.
5. Once cooked, let the chicken rest for 5 minutes before slicing. Serve the chicken over steamed broccoli and brown rice, and sprinkle with sesame seeds.
