- 1/2 teaspoon lemon zest
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 2 teaspoons cornstarch
- 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).
