SESAME CHICKEN WITH LEMON SAUCE
If you like lemons or lemon flavored foods you will love this. It is always a big hit. I do not mix everything together at once since I have very picky eaters at home. Instead, I place the chicken, linguine, and sauce all in separate bowls and allow everyone to mix their own amount of elements together.

Steps:
- 1. Between pieces of plastic wrap or waxed paper, place each chicken smooth side down; gently pound with flat side of mallet or rolling pin until about 1/4 inch thick. (I usually cut each piece of chicken in half crosswise to make it even thinner)
- 2. In a small bowl, beat egg and 2 Tbsp lemon juice with fork or wire whisk. In a 1-gallon resealable food storage plastic bag, mix Bisquick mix, paprika and sesame seeds.
- 3. Dip chicken into egg mixture, then place in bag. Shake until chicken breasts are well coated. In a 12 inch skillet, heat oil over medium high heat. Add chicken; cook 6-8 minutes turning once, until chicken is no longer pink in center.
- 4. Meanwhile, in a 1-quart saucepan, heat all sauce ingredients except onions over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until thickened and bubbly. Spoon sauce over chicken before serving; sprinkle with onions. Serve on a bed of couscous or rice.
Tips:
- Use a large skillet or wok to cook the chicken in so that it has plenty of room to brown.
- Make sure the chicken is cooked through before adding the sauce. You can check this by cutting into the thickest part of the chicken and making sure the juices run clear.
- If you don't have any hoisin sauce, you can substitute a mixture of soy sauce and brown sugar.
- To make the dish spicier, add a pinch of red pepper flakes or chopped chili peppers to the sauce.
- Serve the chicken over rice or noodles, or with a side of steamed vegetables.
Conclusion:
This sesame lemon chicken is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. The chicken is tender and flavorful, and the sauce is perfectly balanced with sweet, sour, and savory flavors.
