Steps

1. In a small bowl, whisk together maple syrup, soy sauce, rice vinegar, grated ginger, minced garlic, and sesame oil. 2. Place the chicken breast in a shallow dish and pour half of the marinade over it. Let it marinate for at least 15 minutes. 3. In a small bowl, mix cornstarch with water to create a slurry and set aside. 4. Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Remove chicken from marinade and cook for 5-6 minutes on each side or until fully cooked. 5. Pour the remaining marinade into the skillet and bring to a simmer. 6. Stir in the cornstarch slurry and cook until the sauce thickens, about 1-2 minutes. 7. Return the chicken to the skillet and coat with the sauce. 8. Garnish with sesame seeds and sliced spring onion if desired. Serve immediately.
