- Heat olive oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add chicken and cook until browned and cooked through. Remove chicken from the skillet and set aside.
- Add broccolini to the skillet and cook for 3-5 minutes, until tender-crisp. Add garlic and cook for another minute until fragrant.
- Pour the sauce mixture into the skillet and bring to a simmer, stirring constantly until the sauce thickens.
- Return the chicken to the skillet and toss to coat with the sauce.
- Serve immediately, garnished with sesame seeds if desired.
