Instructions
1
Prep
Butterfly the chicken breast to an even 1/2-inch thickness, pat dry, and grate the ginger and mince the garlic and scallion.
2
Whisk the soy sauce, mirin, honey, grated ginger, minced garlic, rice vinegar, and sesame oil in a small bowl; coat the chicken and marinate 5 minutes.
3
Sear the chicken in a nonstick skillet over medium-high heat for 3–4 minutes per side until deep amber and the thickest part reaches 165°F.
4
Pour any remaining marinade into the skillet and simmer over medium heat for 1–2 minutes, stirring, until glossy and coat-the-spoon thick.
5
Let the chicken rest on a cutting board for 5 minutes so juices settle.
6
Combine the shredded cabbage and cucumber ribbons in a small bowl, toss with pan glaze until lightly coated.
7
Set the chicken on the bun bottom, spoon glaze over the top, and arrange the slaw alongside for open-style eating.
8
Plate
Scatter the sliced scallion and sesame seeds over the chicken and slaw, then serve immediately.
