Ingredients 1 pound (16 ounces) boneless skinless chicken breast, cut into bite sized chunks. 3 Tbsp soy sauce3 Tbsp olive oil2 Tbsp raw cane sugar 1 tsp honey1/2 tsp garlic powder1/4 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! 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.

One of the best things about this recipe is how easy it is to adjust to your own tastes. I entered it in with my true ingredients, which are SPICY! If you don't like it super spicy, adjust your ratio of Sweet Thai chili sauce (found in the grocery store asian food section) and the spicy Sambal Oelek (found in the same section). Try 1/4 cup of sambal oelek and 3/4 cup sweet chili sauce. Also very good with skinless chicken thighs, trimmed. I just ordered PB2 and am looking forward to trying it with this recipe, to cut the fat back even further!Submitted by: MISSRED1970 CALORIES 268.1 FAT 14.5PROTEIN 20.2CARBS 15.8FIBER 2 TIME15 CALS249 (15 ratings) Chinese Chicken Fried Rice Submitted by: BRIEANNAKIM CALORIES 248.7 FAT 7.3PROTEIN 18.2CARBS 27.2FIBER 0.1 TIME30 CALS143 (26 ratings) Pineapple Chicken Stir-Fry Submitted by: CD1442610 CALORIES 143.3 FAT 4.6PROTEIN 13.7CARBS 14.2FIBER 4.5 Thai Red Curry Chicken Lower fat version of the ethnic delight!Submitted by: ALIFIT CALORIES 225.3 FAT 7.4PROTEIN 29.9CARBS 10.3FIBER 5.1 (15 ratings) Sweet and Sour Chicken This is a healthier revised version from the original.

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
