Ingredients
  • 1/4 cup Lite soy sauce
  • 3 tablespoon Prepared spicy brown mustard
  • 1 tablespoon Firmly packed brown sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon Ground ginger
  • 1 tablespoon Sesame seeds
  • 1 Sliced Thin medium onion
  • 1 Cut In half garlic clove
  • 2 tablespoon Vegetable oil
  • 4 Skinned Boned chicken breast
Directions
  1. 1
    In a medium bowl, whisk together lite soy sauce, spicy brown mustard, brown sugar, and ground ginger until smooth. Set aside.
  2. 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. 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. 4
    Add chicken breasts to the skillet. Pour the soy sauce mixture evenly over the chicken.
  5. 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. 6
    Transfer chicken to a serving platter. Spoon the sauce and onions over the chicken. Sprinkle with toasted sesame seeds.
  7. 7
    Garnish with scallion fans if desired. Serve immediately with rice or vegetables.
