Sesame Chicken

This recipe really satisfies my craving for Chinese food. I serve it over rice and steamed vegetables on the side. The sauce makes just enough to glaze the chicken. I usually double or even triple the sauce recipe to have enough to pour over our rice and veggies. It is a nice low-fat alternative to the restaurant-style Sesame Chicken


Ingredients:

  • boneless skinless chicken breast halves, pat dry with paper towels
  • 1/2 cup honey
  • 1/2 cup soy sauce
  • cup water
  • tablespoons cornstarch
  • 1/2-1 teaspoon ground ginger (fresh is better)
  • 1/2-1 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)
  • tablespoon toasted sesame seeds
  • Directions:

    1. 1
      Cut chicken breast into 1 inch strips or bite size pieces.
    2. 2
      Heat a large non-stick skillet that has been sprayed with Pam, over medium-high heat.
    3. 3
      Cook chicken for about 6 minutes or until no longer pink.
    4. 4
      Mix together honey, soy sauce, water, corn starch, ginger and red pepper flakes.
    5. 5
      Whisk until no corn starch lumps appear.
    6. 6
      Pour sauce mixture into skillet with chicken.
    7. 7
      Cook until sauce thickens slightly.
    8. 8
      You can add more water if sauce is too thick.
    9. 9
      Sprinkle with sesame seeds.
    10. 10
      Cover and simmer for 10 minutes or until chicken starts to soak up the sauce.
    11. 11
      Note: Since originally posting this recipe, I have tried some of the suggestions others have made. I do like it with a bit of sesame oil (be careful not to get too much, just a few drops at the end of cooking is good enough for me, but you might like more), fresh ginger is also good if you have it on hand. I have tried it with garlic and it is good that way also. I have also found that it is good with shrimp and pork. Basically what I am trying to say is, the original recipe is just a simple, quick and healthy meal I came up with when I was craving Chinese food. I thought it turned out really great and wanted to share it. I'm happy that so many of you have enjoyed it. For those of you that didn't care for it, I hope you can find one that suits your fancy some where else.
