Directions:
- Spread the sesame seeds on a plate. Trim off and discard any fat from the chicken. Place the chicken between pieces of plastic wrap and pound lightly all over so the pieces have an even thickness (1/2 to 3/4 inch). Season them lightly all over with salt and pepper, then gently press the chicken into the sesame seeds so the chicken is coated evenly.
- Peel, then grate the ginger root to yield about 2 teaspoons. Finely grate the lime zest to yield about 1 teaspoon, then squeeze the lime(s) to yield about 2 tablespoons of juice. Coarsely chop the cilantro to yield 3 tablespoons.
- Heat the vegetable oil and sesame oil over medium heat in a nonstick skillet that’s large enough to hold the chicken in a single layer. Add the chicken and cook for about 5 minutes, adjusting the heat as needed so the sesame seeds don’t burn. Turn the chicken over and cook for about 4 minutes, until it is cooked through and lightly browned. Transfer to a platter (preferably warmed) and cover loosely to keep warm.
- Use paper towels to wipe out the skillet, then return it to medium heat. Add the butter and swirl to coat as it melts.
- Add the ginger; cook, swirling or stirring, for a few minutes so the butter turns a light brown. Stir in the lime juice and the soy sauce until well incorporated.
- Pour the pan sauce over the chicken, then sprinkle with the cilantro and lime zest. Serve right away.
