Broiled Chicken Breast with Sesame and Agave

These tempting chicken breasts are moist, tender and perfectly flavored with sesame oil and agave nectar. Broiling is a worthy cooking option, especially when the weather doesn't encourage outdoor grilling.

 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
 *Sea salt, to taste
 *1 teaspoon toasted sesame oil
 *Freshly ground black pepper, to taste
 *2 tablespoons agave nectar
 *1 tablespoon Bragg's Liquid Aminos, or more to taste
 *4 bone-in chicken breast halves with skin
 *1 tablespoon sesame seeds
 *Ingredient option: use tamari soy sauce instead of Bragg's Aminos if you do not require a gluten-free version.

Heat broiler to high.

Place chicken breasts, skin side down, in glass baking dish. Sprinkle with a little salt and pepper.
In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together olive oil, agave nectar, tamari and sesame oil. Place a spoonful of sauce on each piece of chicken.

Broil 20 minutes about 8 to 10 inches away from the heat source, checking periodically to make sure chicken is not burning.

Turn chicken over. Sprinkle with a little more salt and pepper. Top each chicken breast with remaining sauce. Broil another 20 minutes, watching carefully and basting as needed so chicken skin does not burn*.
Sprinkle chicken with sesame seeds and continue to broil another minute or two, watching carefully.
*If chicken skin gets too dark and begins to burn, simply turn off broiler and turn oven on to 450°F. Bake chicken until done, sprinkling sesame seeds on for the last 5 minutes of cooking.
