In a large pan , heat sesame oil.  Cook chicken on medium heat until lightly brown and crispy.

While the chicken is cooking, prepare the sauce in a large bowl by whisking all of the ingredients together.

Once the chicken is fully cooked, remove it from the pan and place in a large bowl and set aside.

In the same pan as you prepared the chicken, add the sauce ingredients and bring to a boil.  Cook, stirring frequently for about 15 minutes until thickened. Add chicken to the sauce and cook for an additional 10 minutes on low heat.

Sprinkle chicken with green onion and sesame seeds

I serve this over brown rice with a side of steamed broccoli.
