Add other half of lemon zest and slices, and drizzle with sesame oil, and serve over steamed rice.

  • Use fresh ingredients: Fresh ingredients will always give you the best flavor. If possible, use organic ingredients to avoid pesticides and herbicides.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan: When cooking the chicken, don't overcrowd the pan. This will prevent the chicken from cooking evenly.
  • Cook the chicken until it's cooked through: Use a meat thermometer to make sure the chicken is cooked to an internal temperature of 165 degrees Fahrenheit.
