Ingredients

Directions

  1. In a medium bowl, whisk together lite soy sauce, spicy brown mustard, brown sugar, and ground ginger until smooth. Set aside.
  2. Heat a large nonstick skillet over high heat. Add sesame seeds and toast, stirring frequently, until golden brown and fragrant, about 4 minutes. Remove from pan and set aside.
  3. In the same skillet, add vegetable oil. Sauté sliced onion and halved garlic clove over medium-high heat until softened and lightly caramelized, about 5 minutes. Discard garlic halves if desired.
  4. Add chicken breasts to the skillet. Pour the soy sauce mixture evenly over the chicken.
  5. Cover the skillet and reduce heat to medium-low. Simmer, turning chicken once halfway through, until chicken is cooked through and sauce has thickened slightly, about 12-15 minutes.
  6. Transfer chicken to a serving platter. Spoon the sauce and onions over the chicken. Sprinkle with toasted sesame seeds.
  7. Garnish with scallion fans if desired. Serve immediately with rice or vegetables.
