Instructions

1. 1.
   Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat and add 1 tablespoon of sesame oil. Once the oil is shimmering, add the diced chicken breast. Cook, stirring frequently, until the chicken is golden brown and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes. Ensure the chicken pieces are evenly cooked, checking for no pink in the center.
2. 2.
   Add 1 teaspoon of minced garlic to the chicken. Stir continuously for about 1 minute until the garlic is fragrant but not burned. Watch closely as garlic can burn quickly, reducing its flavor and turning bitter.
3. 3.
   Reduce the heat to medium and add 1 cup of cooked edamame to the skillet. Stir to combine with the chicken. Cook until the edamame is heated through, about 2-3 minutes. This step ensures the beans soak up some of the garlic flavor, balancing the dish's taste.
4. 4.
   Pour 2 tablespoons of low-sodium soy sauce over the chicken and edamame. Stir well to ensure everything is coated evenly. Cook for another 2-3 minutes, allowing the sauce to thicken slightly and the flavors to meld together.
5. 5.
   Taste and adjust seasoning if needed. For deeper flavor, consider adding a splash more soy sauce or a dash of pepper. Serve hot, and for added texture, sprinkle sesame seeds on top before serving if desired (optional).
