SWEET 'N STICKY SESAME CHICKEN

Categories     main-dish

Time 35m

Yield 2 servings

Number Of Ingredients 16

10 ounces raw boneless skinless lean chicken breast, cut into nuggets
1/8 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon black pepper
1/4 cup fat-free liquid egg substitute
1/4 cup whole-wheat flour
1/4 cup fat-free chicken broth
1 tablespoon cornstarch
2 tablespoons sugar-free pancake syrup
2 tablespoons seasoned rice vinegar
1 tablespoon ketchup
1/2 tablespoon reduced-sodium or lite soy sauce
1/2 teaspoon sesame oil
1/2 teaspoon crushed garlic
1 teaspoon sesame seeds
2 tablespoons thinly sliced scallions
Red pepper flakes, optional

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Spray a baking sheet with nonstick spray and set it aside. Season chicken with salt and pepper, and place in a bowl with egg substitute. Toss to coat and set aside. Put flour in another bowl. One at a time, use a fork or tongs to transfer chicken "nuggets" to the flour bowl, allowing excess egg substitute to drain back into the egg bowl. Thoroughly coat the chicken with flour and then transfer to the baking sheet. Repeat with the remaining flour and chicken. Bake the chicken in the oven until fully cooked, about 10 minutes. Meanwhile, to make the sauce, combine broth with cornstarch in a nonstick skillet and whisk to dissolve. Set stove to medium-low heat. Add syrup, vinegar, ketchup, soy sauce, sesame oil, and garlic. Mix well. Stirring often, cook until it's thick enough to coat a spoon, 2 to 3 minutes. Remove skillet from heat. Add chicken and toss to coat. Plate and sprinkle with sesame seeds and scallions. If you like, add a sprinkle of red pepper flakes. Eat up!

Tips:

  • Use a large skillet or wok. This will help to ensure that the chicken is cooked evenly and that there is enough room for the sauce to coat the chicken.
  • Make sure the chicken is coated in cornstarch before frying. This will help to create a crispy crust on the chicken.
  • Fry the chicken in small batches. This will help to prevent the chicken from overcrowding the pan and becoming soggy.
  • Cook the chicken until it is golden brown and crispy. This will ensure that the chicken is cooked through.
  • Make the sauce while the chicken is cooking. This will help to save time and ensure that the sauce is hot and ready to serve when the chicken is done.
  • Serve the chicken immediately with the sauce. This will help to ensure that the chicken is hot and crispy.
  • Garnish the chicken with green onions and sesame seeds. This will add a pop of color and flavor to the dish.

Conclusion:

Sticky Sesame Chicken is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. The chicken is crispy and flavorful, and the sauce is sweet, tangy, and sticky. This dish is sure to be a hit with your family and friends.
