  • Bring water and bouillon cube to a boil in a pot until bouillon is dissolved; decrease heat to low. Whisk tahini, soy sauce, honey, garlic, and ginger into bouillon mixture until smooth. Keep sauce warm over low heat.
  • Heat butter in a separate skillet over medium heat; cook and stir chicken until no longer pink in the center, 5 to 10 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the centers should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).
