A Saturday Recipe instead...

     My middle son requested Sesame Chicken for supper, so I found this recipe on Pinterest and we tried it last night.  http://therecipecritic.com/2013/09/baked-honey-sesame-chicken/

Baked Honey Sesame Chicken

AUTHOR: ALYSSA

PREP TIME:  30 MINS

COOK TIME:  1 HOUR

TOTAL TIME:  1 HOUR 30 MINS

SERVES: 6

 

INGREDIENTS

• 4 chicken breasts
• 1 cup cornstarch
• 3 eggs
• salt and pepper
• ¼ cup canola oil
• Sauce:
• ¾ cup honey
• ¾ cup soy sauce
• ½ cup ketchup
• ½ cup brown sugar
• ½ cup rice wine vinegar
• 1 t sesame oil
• 1 t minced garlic
• 1 T cornstarch
• additional sesame seeds for garnish

INSTRUCTIONS

1. Preheat oven to 325 degrees. Cut chicken breasts into bite-sized pieces and season with salt and pepper.
2. In separate bowls, place cornstarch and slightly beaten eggs. Dip chicken into cornstarch then coat in egg mixture. I have also found that you can put the chicken pieces in a gallon size bag and shake to coat.
3. Heat canola oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat and cook chicken until browned. Place the chicken in a 9 x 13 greased baking dish.
4. In a medium sized mixing bowl, combine honey, soy sauce, ketchup, brown sugar, rice wine vinegar, sesame oil, minced garlic, and 1 T cornstarch. Pour over chicken and bake for 45 minutes or until chicken is cooked through.
5. I stirred the chicken every 15 minutes so that it coated them in the sauce.

Turned out really yummy!
