SESAME CHICKEN WITH SNOW PEAS
Skip the take-out and make your own version of this popular sweet-and-savory Chinese-American dish. We've lightened our version up by giving the chicken a quick marinade in soy and honey instead of coating and deep-frying it as most restaurants do. Steamed snow peas and brown rice round out the meal.

Steps:
- Whisk 3 tablespoons soy sauce, 2 teaspoons sesame oil and the honey together in a medium bowl. Add the chicken, toss and marinate 20 minutes.
- Remove the chicken from the marinade using a slotted spoon. Heat 2 teaspoons canola oil in a nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the chicken in 2 batches, turning once or twice, until browned, 3 to 5 minutes (add 2 more teaspoons canola oil between batches). Transfer the chicken to a plate and wipe out the skillet.
- Heat the remaining 2 teaspoons canola oil in the skillet. Add the scallions, reserving some of the green parts for topping. Add the ginger and garlic and cook, stirring, 1 minute. Whisk the broth, sugar, cornstarch, vinegar, chili paste and the remaining 2 tablespoons soy sauce in a bowl; add to the skillet and cook, stirring, until thickened, 3 to 4 minutes. Stir in the remaining 2 teaspoons sesame oil.
- Meanwhile, cook the snow peas in a steamer basket set over a few inches of boiling water until crisp-tender, 2 to 3 minutes.
- Return the chicken to the skillet with the sauce and heat through. Serve the chicken and snow peas over brown rice, if desired. Top with the sesame seeds and reserved scallion greens.
SIMPLE SAUTEED SESAME CHICKEN
A healthier, simpler, and more savory take on sesame chicken. This recipe can be made with regular flour or with a gluten-free flour mix, along with basic ingredients you can already find in your kitchen. My husband absolutely loves it and it is the perfect alternative to a night in with take-out. Best served with steamed rice, broccoli, carrots, and water chestnuts. Serve with steamed rice and vegetables.

Steps:
- Sift flour, 2 tablespoons cornstarch, baking soda, and baking powder into a bowl. Pour in low-sodium soy sauce, sherry, 2 tablespoons water, vegetable oil, and a dash of sesame oil; stir until smooth. Stir in chicken until coated with the batter, then cover, and refrigerate for 20 minutes.
- Meanwhile, bring chicken broth, sugar, vinegar, dark soy sauce, sesame oil, chile paste, and garlic to a boil in a saucepan over high heat. Dissolve 1/4 cup cornstarch into 1/2 cup of water, and stir into boiling sauce. Simmer until the sauce thickens and turns clear, about 2 minutes. Reduce heat to low, and keep sauce warm.
- Heat olive oil in a deep fryer or large saucepan to a temperature of 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
- Drop in the battered chicken pieces, a few at a time, and fry until they turn golden brown and float to the top of the oil, 3 to 4 minutes. Drain on a paper towel lined plate. To serve, place fried chicken pieces onto a serving platter, and pour the hot sauce overtop. Sprinkle with toasted sesame seeds to garnish.

BAKED SESAME CHICKEN
Open, sesame! This is a family favorite. For a variation, you can also use bone-in chicken pieces, but be sure to increase the cooking time in this case. Tip: To toast sesame seeds, place in a baking dish in a heated oven for about 5 to 10 minutes, watching carefully not to burn.

Tips:
- Use a whole chicken for maximum flavor. Roasting a whole chicken allows the juices to circulate and create a more flavorful dish.
- Dry the chicken thoroughly before roasting. This will help the skin crisp up and prevent the chicken from steaming.
- Season the chicken generously with salt and pepper. This will help to enhance the natural flavors of the chicken.
- Roast the chicken at a high temperature for a short amount of time. This will help to create a crispy skin and juicy meat.
- Let the chicken rest for 10 minutes before carving. This will allow the juices to redistribute and make the chicken easier to carve.
- Serve the chicken with a simple sauce or gravy. This will help to add moisture and flavor to the chicken.
Conclusion:
Sesame Roasted Chicken with Bean Puree is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. The chicken is roasted until crispy and juicy, and the bean puree is smooth and flavorful. This dish is sure to be a hit with the whole family.
