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.

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.
