Give the sauce one more stir and add it to the pan. Reduce the heat to medium-low. Keep cooking and stirring until the sauce thickens and the chicken is well-coated, about 2 more minutes.
Transfer the sesame chicken to a serving platter (lined with cauliflower rice if you wish). Drizzle it with sesame oil, sprinkle with sesame seeds and sliced green onions, then serve.
