The late, great comedian Mitch Hedberg once mused about the mysterious sesame seed, "What does a sesame grow into? I don't know! We never gave them a chance!" Give this sesame-crusted chicken a chance, though, and you'll have yourself a delicious, healthy meal. Lime-ginger dressing over a tender butter lettuce salad packs an acidic punch for the aromatic sesame-crusted chicken breast.

Place a medium oven-safe pan over medium heat. Add 1 Tbsp. olive oil to pan and then add chicken. Cook 4-5 minutes, undisturbed, until white sesame seeds are a light golden brown. Gently flip chicken and place pan in oven. Bake 7-10 minutes, or until chicken reaches a minimum internal temperature of 165 degrees.
