Number of Servings: 4
Ingredients
-
1 pound (16 ounces) boneless skinless chicken breast, cut into bite sized chunks.
3 Tbsp soy sauce
3 Tbsp olive oil
2 Tbsp raw cane sugar
1 tsp honey
1/2 tsp garlic powder
1/4 cup white, untoasted sesame seeds
liberal pinches of black pepper, ground ginger and ground cinnamon
Directions
I love the sesame chicken you can find at many American Chinese restaurants, such as P.F. Chang's. Sadly, it doesn't love me, so I decided I would make a version that isn't battered and deep fried. This version is baked, so it isn't exactly like the kind from the restaurants. But, I think it's a good substitute for when you're really craving some sesame chicken!
Feel free to add some veggies. Broccoli would be good in this, I'm sure. I'll try it next time I make this. I just didn't have any on hand this time. I need to go shopping soon!
--
Combine all ingredients except chicken in a bowl.
Add chicken, mix together well so the chicken is thoroughly coated in the marinade, cover and let it sit in the fridge for 2 hours or so.
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
Arrange chicken on a cookie sheet, and pour liquid on top of it.
Bake in oven for 5 minutes, flip chicken pieces with a spatula, and bake for another 5 minutes, or until done.
Serve with brown rice (not included in the Nutritional Info, because everybody likes different amounts of rice, or some might even not want rice at all.)
Makes 4 4-oz servings.

this was EXCELLENT!!!! I did as others suggested, tossed chicken in flour then stir fried in 1 tbsp. hot oil. Brought sauce to boil in separate pot then added 1tsp cornstarch/1tsp water to thicken, added to cooked chicken. Used only 1 tbsp oil in sauce 1/2 toasted sesame/1/2 olive oil. YUM!! THANX! - 12/2/10

For me a big part of seasme chicken is the breading, not just the sauce I think it might be better if you coated the chicken pieces in whole whaet flour and then fried with the olive oil and made the sauce seperate, that would get a truer to seasme chicken texture, and wouldn't add too many cals - 11/3/09

Made some minor changes but this turned out AWESOME! I used Lesser Sodium Soy Sauce, decreased OliveOil to 1 tbsp, used brown sugar, 1/8 c. sesame seeds, juice from small, freshly sqzed orange. To cut total time, sauteed chicken in Olv.Oil then added other ingr. and simmered to reduce and thicken. - 1/9/11

I will try this one as I like Sesame Chicken. The place I got it at (until they closed) made it with a "bite" to it. I’m not sure what kind of hot sauce or cayenne pepper they added but it made the dish so good compared to the sickly sweet tasting normal sesame chicken at other Chinese restaurants. - 11/5/09

I made this last evening to take to a potluck. I followed suggestions from others and dredged the chicken in flour. Doubled the sauce because I layered rice on the bottom of dish, then stir-fried veggies (onions, carrots, broccoli), then chicken. It was a hit! Will do it again-an excellent recipe! - 9/12/13

I actually marinaded the chicken in the sauce. I left out 1 tbsp of soy sauce and the olive oil completely. I then cooked it on the stove, and made the sauce in a separate pot. I added pineapple and broccoli to the chicken in the last five minutes. IT WAS AMAZING! The chicken was so good! LOVED IT! - 10/6/12

This dish was delicious! I made it using chicken I had previously cooked and cubed, so all I had to do was make the sauce and toss the chicken in it to coat. My husband and I split a single (large) chicken breast, and served it over about 1/2c brown rice, and the amount of sauce was perfect. - 4/19/11

YUMMY! With changes: 1 T olive oil, 1/4 t cayenne pepper, 1 T Island Teriyaki, brown sugar, no seeds, no other ssngs (ginger/pepper/etc), rest same. Marinated then coated in wheat/white flour, wokfried w/PAM. Made more sauce (doubled) separately,added to chick. Tried cornstarch, but too thick. Wow! - 3/13/11
