INGREDIENTS

• 2 garlic cloves, minced
• 1/4 cup less-sodium soy sauce
• 1 tablespoon honey
• 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (about 1 1/4 pounds)
• 1 tablespoon white sesame seeds
• 1 1/2 tablespoons toasted sesame oil
• 1 1/2 tablespoons grated peeled fresh ginger
• 1 package (3.5 ounces) sliced shiitake mushrooms
• 1 1/2 cups shredded carrots

DIRECTIONS

• Prepare outdoor grill for direct grilling over medium heat. In small bowl, whisk together garlic, soy sauce and honey.

Meanwhile, in small nonstick skillet, toast sesame seeds over medium-low heat 3 minutes or until golden brown, stirring frequently; transfer to plate.
• Remove chicken from marinade; discard marinade. Place chicken on hot grill rack and cook 10 to 12 minutes or until chicken loses its pink color throughout and internal temperature reaches 165°, turning once halfway through cooking. Transfer chicken to plate; keep warm.
• Meanwhile, in large nonstick skillet, heat oil over medium-hiqh heat. Add ginger and cook 1 minute, stirring frequently. Add mushrooms and carrots and cook 4 minutes, stirring occasionally. Add spinach and cook, covered, 2 minutes. Stir in lemon juice.
• To serve, evenly divide spinach mixture over each of 4 dinner plates. Slice chicken and place over spinach mixture; sprinkle with sesame seeds.
