Sesame Oil Chicken

Ingredients

• Sesame seeds (1 tablespoon, toasted)
• Green onions (2 stalks, chopped)
• Salt and pepper (to taste)
• Chicken broth (1 cup)
• Rice wine (2 tablespoons)
• Soy sauce (2 tablespoons)
• Ginger (1 inch, peeled and finely chopped)
• Garlic (3 cloves, minced)
• Sesame oil (2 tablespoons)
• Chicken thighs (4, boneless and skinless)

Instructions

1. Heat the sesame oil in a large skillet over medium heat until it shimmers.
2. Add the chicken thighs to the skillet and cook until golden brown on both sides, about 5 minutes per side. Once browned, remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
3. In the same skillet, add the minced garlic and finely chopped ginger. Saute until they become fragrant, taking care not to burn them. This should take about 1 minute.
4. Pour in the soy sauce, rice wine, and chicken broth into the skillet. Stir the mixture and bring it to a simmer.
5. Return the chicken thighs to the skillet. Cover the skillet and let it simmer for about 20 minutes, or until the chicken is fully cooked and tender.
6. Season the dish with salt and pepper according to your preference.
7. Before serving, sprinkle the dish with chopped green onions and toasted sesame seeds for added flavor and texture.
