Directions

  1. Sprinkle salt over chicken breasts and spread evenly over chicken using your hands. Place chicken in a microwave-safe bowl, add sake and top with garlic.

  2. Mix ground sesame seeds, soy sauce, and sugar together in a bowl until sauce is smooth.

  3. Cover bowl with a lid or plastic wrap and heat in microwave until no longer pink in the center, about 4 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C). Let chicken cool until easily handled, about 10 minutes.

  4. Shred chicken into bite-size pieces and place in serving bowl, top with broccoli sprouts and sauce.
