Instructions
Sauce
Add all the sauce ingredients to a small bowl. Whisk until incorporated and set aside.
Chicken
Season chicken with just a touch of salt and pepper (the sauce is plenty salty so you don't need much). Heat oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium high heat and add chicken. Sear on the first side for 5 minutes, or until it's easy to flip and the chicken is a deep golden brown. Sear on the opposite side for 5-8 minutes until deep golden brown (you may need to adjust your heat depending on your pan). Remove the chicken from the pan when both sides are seared and put them on a plate. You'll finish cooking the chicken later. Turn the heat down to medium and add sauce ingredients. Be careful when adding to the hot pan as it can splatter. Cook sauce stirring often for 5 minutes; it will start to thicken a bit. Add chicken back to the pan with the sauce and don't forget to add the juice from the plate cause it's yummy. Flip chicken to coat both sides. Turn the heat down to medium low and continue to cook until sauce becomes thick and the chicken is cooked through, about 10 minutes. Serve over your favorite side with a sprinkle of sesame seeds and sliced green onions.
