Time 35m

Yield 2-4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

4 boneless skinless chicken breast halves
2 tablespoons toasted sesame oil
1/8 teaspoon pepper (or to taste)
2/3 cup reduced-sodium chicken broth
3 scallions, thinly sliced (about 1/8 cup)
1 tablespoon sesame seeds, toasted
1/2 teaspoon lemon zest
1 tablespoon lemon juice
2 teaspoons cornstarch

Steps:

  • Rinse and pat dry chicken breasts with paper towels.
  • Pour sesame oil onto a deep plate or into a shallow bowl and dredge chicken breast so both sides are coated with oil.
  • Place chicken on the unheated rack of a broiler pan, sprinkle with pepper and broil 4-5 inches from heat for about 5 minutes or until meat is cooked through and no longer pink.
  • Meanwhile, in a medium saucepan, combine chicken broth, scallions, sesame seed, lemon zest, lemon juice, and cornstarch.
  • Cook and stir over low-medium heat until sauce becomes thickened and bubbly and transparent, then cook for 1 minute more.
  • Pour sauce over chicken and serve immediately.
  • (If serving over rice, place chicken over rice before topping with sauce).
