Sesame Chicken

Ingredients

  • For chicken:
  • 2 eggs beaten
  • 1/2 cup corn starch
  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 1/2 pounds chicken thighs (boneless and skinless) cut into bite size pieces
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • salt and pepper to taste
  • green onions to garnish
  • Sauce:
  • 1 cup low sodium chicken broth
  • 1/4 cup low sodium soy sauce
  • 1/3 cup brown sugar
  • 1 tablespoon sesame seeds
  • 1 tablespoon rice wine vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon toasted sesame oil
  • 1 1/2 tablespoons ginger grated
  • 4 garlic cloves minced
  • 1 tsp chile garlic sauce (add more if you want a spicier sauce)
  • 1 tablespoon corn starch
  • 2 teaspoons sesame seeds to garnish

Instructions

  1. Combine all sauce ingredients in a medium saucepan, whisk and set aside.
  2. Place eggs, salt and pepper in a bowl and lightly beat. Place flour, 1/2 cup corn starch, salt and pepper in a shallow dish and whisk.
  3. Dip each chicken piece into egg mixture and then flour mixture. Repeat until all chicken pieces have been coated. Set aside.
  4. Preheat a skillet. Add olive oil and pan fry chicken until nicely golden brown.
  5. While chicken is cooking, cook the sauce on low for 3 to 4 minutes. The sauce will thicken rather quickly, so continue to whisk. Remove from heat once sauce begins to thicken.
  6. In a bowl, add chicken and sauce. Toss chicken until all pieces are covered. Garnish with sesame seeds and green onions.
  7. Serve over white rice and enjoy!
