I love the sesame chicken you can find at many Chinese restaurants. Sadly, it doesn't love me, so someone decided to 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.


INGREDIENTS
1 pound (16 ounces) boneless skinless chicken breast, cut into bite sized chunks.
3 Tbsp soy sauce
3 Tbsp olive oil
2 Tbsp rapadura, which is also known as whole cane sugar (or use sucanat or brown sugar)
1 tsp honey
1/2 tsp garlic powder
1/4 cup white, untoasted sesame seeds
liberal pinches of black pepper, ground ginger and ground cinnamon

DIRECTIONS
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. I got this from an e-mail I get from Sparkspeople.com and thought I’d share with everyone.
