This oven-baked sesame chicken comes together quick and is always a big hit! Serve it up on top of rice with some garlic-almond green beans on the side, and you've got yourself a better (and healthier!!) than take-out meal! This pairs perfectly with a dry Riesling from Washington state.

Ingredients

FOR THE CHICKEN:
1 lb chicken breasts, cubed
salt and pepper
1 c cornstarch
1-2 Tbsp vegetable oil
FOR THE SAUCE:
1/4 c honey
2 Tbsp brown sugar
1 Tbsp rice wine vinegar
1 1/2 Tbsp sesame oil
2 Tbsp low sodium soy sauce
GARNISH:
toasted sesame seeds

Steps:

1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
2. Lightly salt and pepper the cubed chicken. Put the cornstarch into a gallon zip top bag. Dump chicken in with the cornstarch. Seal the bag and shake vigorously to ensure that the chicken is well coated. Dump chicken and cornstarch into a colander over garbage can, shake excess cornstarch off the chicken.
3. Heat 1 TB of the oil over medium heat in a large skillet. Working in batches so as not to overcrowd the pan, cook the chicken until browned on all sides. Place cooked chicken on a large, rectangular, parchment paper-lined baking pan.
4. In a small/medium bowl, whisk all ingredients for sauce together until well blended. Pour sauce over chicken and stir to make sure every piece is coated.
5. Bake for 15 minutes or until the sauce has thickened and the chicken is completely cooked. While chicken is in the oven, stir it every 5-10 minutes to make sure chicken is completely coated with sauce.
6. Serve chicken over jasmine rice and garnish with sesame seeds.

Time 37m

Yield 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 5

Ingredients

1/4 cup honey
2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
1 1/2 cups dried breadcrumbs
1 tablespoon olive oil
4 -6 chicken breasts (1 - 1 1/2 lbs)

Steps:

Preheat oven to 375°F Line a baking sheet with foil. Spread oil over the foil liberally.
Whisk together honey and vinegar in shallow bowl. Pour bread crumbs into separate bowl. Sometimes I use a bag, like a "shake & bake" method.
Roll chicken in honey mixture, then in bread crumbs. Place chicken on baking sheet.
Bake for 30 minutes or until no longer pink in center.

Tips:

To achieve a crispy, golden-brown chicken, ensure the oven temperature is accurate and the chicken is evenly coated in the honey marinade before baking.
For a sweeter and more flavorful dish, use a combination of different types of honey, such as wildflower, orange blossom, or buckwheat.
To enhance the taste of the chicken, consider adding herbs and spices to the honey marinade, such as thyme, rosemary, paprika, or garlic powder.
If you prefer a thicker sauce, mix cornstarch or flour with water to create a slurry and add it to the marinade before baking.
To ensure the chicken is cooked evenly, use a meat thermometer to check that the internal temperature has reached 165°F (74°C).

In conclusion, oven-baked honey chicken is a delectable dish that combines the flavors of sweet honey, savory chicken, and aromatic herbs.
