"A recipe for microwave/steamed chicken breasts with sesame sauce made from ground sesame seeds. It's so delicious and a perfect meal for lunch because it's light. I've topped it with broccoli sprouts which gives the dish just the right balance."

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.
Mix ground sesame seeds, soy sauce, and sugar together in a bowl until sauce is smooth.
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.
Shred chicken into bite-size pieces and place in serving bowl; top with broccoli sprouts and sauce.
