Preparation
Step 1
Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large sauté pan over medium-high heat. Add chicken breasts, and season with a generous pinch of salt and pepper. Cook for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the chicken is browned and mostly cooked through.
Step 2
While the chicken is cooking, make your sauce. (See below.)
Step 3
Once the chicken is browned, add the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil and broccoli, and stir to combine. Continue cooking for an additional 3 minutes, until the broccoli is bright green. Stir in the sauce, and cook for an additional 1 minute until the sauce has thickened. Remove from heat and stir in the sesame oil until combined.
Step 4
Serve warm, garnished with green onions and toasted sesame seeds. Or transfer to a sealed container and refrigerate for up to 3 days.
Step 5
Whisk all sauce ingredients together in a small bowl until combined.

Chef's notes
I slightly tweaked the sauce recipe in 2017, to add just a bit more to the recipe. But it should still taste the same! :
