1 pound (16 ounces) boneless skinless chicken breast, cut into bite sized chunks. 3 Tbsp soy sauce3 Tbsp olive oil2 Tbsp raw cane sugar 1 tsp honey1/2 tsp garlic powder1/4 cup white, untoasted sesame seeds liberal pinches of black pepper, ground ginger and ground cinnamon
Directions
I love the sesame chicken you can find at many American Chinese restaurants, such as P.F. Chang's. Sadly, it doesn't love me, so I decided I would make a version that isn't battered and deep fried. This version is baked, so it isn't exactly like the kind from the restaurants. But, I think it's a good substitute for when you're really craving some sesame chicken!
Feel free to add some veggies. Broccoli would be good in this, I'm sure. I'll try it next time I make this. I just didn't have any on hand this time. I need to go shopping soon! -- Combine all ingredients except chicken in a bowl.
Add chicken, mix together well so the chicken is thoroughly coated in the marinade, cover and let it sit in the fridge for 2 hours or so.
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
Arrange chicken on a cookie sheet, and pour liquid on top of it.
Bake in oven for 5 minutes, flip chicken pieces with a spatula, and bake for another 5 minutes, or until done.
Serve with brown rice (not included in the Nutritional Info, because everybody likes different amounts of rice, or some might even not want rice at all.)

LLCURTS This was great - loved it - I left out the sugar using only honey - added chili flakes for a kick and half sesame oil half olive oil and about a TBS Teriaki sauce. Turned out great over rice. - 11/5/09
NIGHTWOLF24M This was great, we baked the chicken but left the sauce out, we then added 1tsp cornstarch/1tsp water to a sauce pan and made a thicker sauce. we then added the chicken back in and ate it over rice! Incredible - 4/4/10
MERRYCHEF this was EXCELLENT!!!! I did as others suggested, tossed chicken in flour then stir fried in 1 tbsp. hot oil. Brought sauce to boil in separate pot then added 1tsp cornstarch/1tsp water to thicken, added to cooked chicken. Used only 1 tbsp oil in sauce 1/2 toasted sesame/1/2 olive oil. YUM!! THANX! - 12/2/10
RBABOUT Scrumptious! I have made this numerous time and use only 1 tablespoon of olive oil. - 11/1/09
CD1497466 For me a big part of seasme chicken is the breading, not just the sauce I think it might be better if you coated the chicken pieces in whole whaet flour and then fried with the olive oil and made the sauce seperate, that would get a truer to seasme chicken texture, and wouldn't add too many cals - 11/3/09
DARLING54 Made this tonight and OMG it's gooooooooooood! Even my DH loved it, and trust me, he likes his chicken fried! This may be the turning point that I needed for him! The touch of corn starch was a good hint, but I think it would work with or without it. - 11/3/09
ASHBY73 Next time I would lose the cinnamon...it gave it more of a curry kind of flavor. I added red pepper flakes to give it a general tso's kind of flare and it was delish. I will definitely make this again. The whole family enjoyed it! - 1/16/10
ASDRAGONFLY Made some minor changes but this turned out AWESOME! I used Lesser Sodium Soy Sauce, decreased OliveOil to 1 tbsp, used brown sugar, 1/8 c. sesame seeds, juice from small, freshly sqzed orange. To cut total time, sauteed chicken in Olv.Oil then added other ingr. and simmered to reduce and thicken. - 1/9/11
BRANDI851 Loved it!!!!! Used brown sugar and it was perfect! Will make again! used only 1/8th a cup of sesame seeds and it was great! - 8/20/10
LOVEPAINTING This is going in my recipe book for when I start cooking. It sounds absolutely wonderful. Who doesn't like Chinese food and especially PF Chang?? - 10/30/09
UBERASH Too good to be true, I LOVED THIS RECIPE. I'll be making this OFTEN. I didn't have brown sugar on hand, so I used regular sugar and it came out great. Also, I had to cook 7 mins on one side and 13 on the other. Chicken was very tender. Thanks bunches! - 9/16/10
IMAQUALITARIAN WOW! I doubled this recipe and served it with "fried" rice (Kikkom?? seasoning mix). It is unanimously loved by my DH, 15 yr. old, 2- 13 yr. olds, and my 10 year old!!!! It's a miracle! I used less olive oil and replaced honey with Agave Nectar! Thanks, yum yum! - 7/24/10
CD2415256 Delicious! I made it tonight and my husband and I loved it. We ate it with stir fry vegetables and rice. Thanks for the great recipie! - 12/4/09
MJBORYLA16 I served over guilt free stir fry veggies instead of the rice. Worked for me! - 11/24/09
CD4014916 going to fix this one but use low sodium soy sauce - 11/4/09
UMCHICK5683 Delicious!! My husband and I loved it! Had it with stir fry veggies and brown rice too. Will definitely make it again! - 12/1/09
SAMILIA Super yummy! I added pineapple for the last five minutes, and it added a little extra sweetness. Will definitely make this again. - 7/11/10
VWILKAT Absolutely delicious! After reading some of the other comments, I too used half sesame oil, half EVOO in the marinade. Served with brown rice and a side of stir-fry veggies. I will definitely be making this again! - 2/21/10
LAURAB242 Reduced olive oil to 1 tablespoon which cut points by 2 making it a very reasonable number for me, (WW member). - 9/21/10
CD5853570 Good recipe. My husband devoured it which makes me happy too. - 1/17/10
LEAHBENT I plan to make this one tonight but use low sodium soy sauce instead. I may leave out the cinnamin but the rest sounds delish! - 1/1/11
NKDUB211 Absolutely loved it. I will try the suggestion of rolling the chicken in wheat flour and cooking in the skillet just to try it but really loved the recipe as is. - 11/18/09
ISLACAS just love it - 11/4/09
CD3802882 Wonderful! - 11/3/09
ALISHAB3 This would be great in an Asian style wrap with shredded cabbage on a whole wheat tortilla or a rice wrap, drizzle with a little rice vinegar. Dip either in teriyaki or a peanut sauce. - 1/28/13
In a separate bowl, create your sauce by combining light soy sauce, ketchup, chicken stock, sugar, honey, and sesame oil. Mix until well combined and set aside. In a large bowl, combine flour, cornstarch, kosher salt, white pepper, and baking powder.
General Tso's chicken is a spicy and tangy dish made with a mix of chicken breast and thighs, while sesame chicken is a sweeter option made with succulent chicken thighs. Whether you're in the mood for something spicy or sweet, both dishes offer a delicious and crispy meal that's sure to satisfy your cravings.”
The dish involves chicken (usually thigh) pieces that are de-boned, battered and Chinese deep-fried, then dressed with a translucent, reddish-brown, semi-thick, somewhat sweet sauce made from corn starch, vinegar, wine or sake, chicken broth and sugar, the last of which is a major contributor to sesame chicken's ...
Mix together sugar and cornstarch in a saucepan. Stir in chicken broth, water, vinegar, soy sauce, sesame oil, chile paste, and garlic. Bring to a boil, stirring constantly, then reduce heat and simmer for 5 minutes.
Tahini is sometimes listed as a substitute for sesame paste, but to me, the two aren't interchangeable. Though tahini is also made from white sesame seeds, those seeds are usually untoasted or lightly toasted. By comparison, toasted sesame paste is more assertive and aromatic and also thicker in texture.
Is sesame chicken the same as teriyaki chicken? No. Sesame chicken is usually battered and fried in oil, then coated in a thick sweet sesame sauce. On the other hand, teriyaki chicken is usually grilled or pan fried and then glazed with a sweet sauce.
While the dish isn't exactly authentic Chinese food, its namesake was a very real (and very powerful) general. Zuo Zongtang (General Tso) was a respected Chinese statesman and military leader of the late Qing dynasty, which ruled the country from 1644 until 1912.
General Tso's is sweeter with a milder spice, featuring deep-fried battered chicken.Kung Pao is spicier with stir-fried chicken, vegetables, and peanuts. Also, General Tso's has Chinese-American roots, while Kung Pao hails from Sichuan cuisine.
There are slight differences between the two. Sesame chicken features toasted sesame seeds and is milder when it comes to spice. General Tso's chicken has a stronger kick and sweeter flavor thanks to the addition of ketchup in the sauce.
The #1 worst Panda Express order is…the Chow Mein and Orange Chicken. "Panda Express's Orange Chicken and Chow Mein are considered unhealthy due to their high levels of sodium, sugar, and unhealthy fats," says Young. The Chow Mein and Orange Chicken is packed with: Calories: 1,000.
A representative from Panda's PR team said that the five top-selling entrées at the restaurant are (drumroll please): Beijing Beef, Broccoli Beef, Honey Walnut Shrimp, Mushroom Chicken, and, of course, the Original Orange Chicken—the dish that Panda Express is credited with inventing.
Panda Express first introduced the Honey Sesame Chicken Breast in 2013, and has brought it back a number of times for people to enjoy. The return was always sporadic, but after its return to menus in August as a limited-time offer, Panda Express is now opening up a permanent spot on the menu.
Tahini sauce is one of our go-to toppings for a variety of savory dishes. It's made from tahini, a dense paste made from crushed sesame seeds. Tahini sauce is a mixture of tahini paste, lemon juice, garlic, and water. This traditional sauce is served in Israel and in Arab countries throughout the Middle East.
Sesame chicken sauce is a balanced combination of sweet, sour and spicy that comes from light soy sauce, oyster sauce, dark soy sauce, rice vinegar and sugar.
Hoisin sauce is made from fermented soybeans mixed with garlic, chilli, sesame, Chinese spices and vinegar. Char siu sauce is a condiment made from hoisin sauce, sugar, Chinese five spice powder, Chinese cooking wine, soy sauce, garlic and often also food colouring.
