HOW TO SERVE THIS EASY DINNER RECIPE

We love this chicken served over some white rice and garnished with sesame seeds and sliced green onions. 

You could serve this over brown rice, cauliflower rice, or anything else you prefer. 

You can get away with no sesame seeds but the green onions really are a must. They provide so much flavor!
