This dish features tender chicken breasts enhanced by a flavorful sauce made with garlic, sesame oil, and a touch of brown sugar. It’s perfect for a quick weeknight dinner or a special meal.
- For a deeper flavor, marinate the chicken breasts in the soy sauce and vinegar mixture for at least 30 minutes before cooking.
- Use fresh garlic for the best flavor—mince it finely to ensure it distributes evenly in the sauce.
- To prevent the chicken from becoming tough, avoid overcooking it. Cook just until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
- If you prefer a thicker sauce, mix a little cornstarch with water and add it to the pan towards the end of cooking.
- Toast the sesame seeds before sprinkling them on the finished dish for an added layer of flavor.
