Sesame Chicken
A crispy and flavorful Asian-inspired dish with tender chicken, sesame seeds, and a sweet soy glaze.
Ingredients
Chicken
- 4 breasts boneless, skinless chicken breasts
Sauce
- 1/2 cup soy sauce
- 1/4 cup rice vinegar
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 2 tablespoons cornstarch
Coating
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons sesame oil
Garnish
- 1/4 cup sesame seeds
- 1/4 cup chopped green onions
Instructions
- Cut the chicken into bite-sized pieces and marinate in soy sauce and cornstarch for 10 minutes.
- Heat sesame oil in a skillet over medium-high heat and cook the chicken until golden brown, about 5-6 minutes per side. Remove and set aside.
- In the same skillet, combine soy sauce, rice vinegar, and honey. Bring to a simmer and cook until thickened, about 5 minutes.
- Add the cooked chicken back to the skillet and toss in the sauce until well coated. Sprinkle with sesame seeds and green onions.
- Serve hot over rice or noodles.
Notes
For extra crispiness, coat the marinated chicken in flour before frying. Use fresh sesame seeds for the best flavor.
