    Ingredients for this recipe

    Chicken breast: Use boneless and skinless chicken breast.

    Olive oil: We've used extra virgin olive oil to sautee the chicken breast. Feel free to use other vegetable oil.

    Rice: We've used white basmati rice.

    Sesame seeds: To sprinkle on top. Sesame seeds are an optional ingredient.

    Broccolini: Sauteed. You can replace it with broccoli, steamed carrots, steamed bok choy, or edamame.

    Mirin: Mirin is a rice wine that is very common in Japanese cooking. 

    Sake: Sake is an alcoholic beverage made by fermenting rice that is very common in Japanese cooking. Don't worry about the alcohol. It will evaporate while cooking.

    Soy sauce: Adds that umami flavor. You can use regular soy sauce or tamari.

    Honey: Adds a sweet flavor to the sauce. Use your favorite brand.

    Garlic: Minced.

    Ginger: For extra flavor.
