Oven-Baked Honey Sesame Chicken image

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.

Time 30m

Number Of Ingredients 13

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.
