Directions
Better Than Take Out Sesame Chicken, If you like the sesame chicken in Chinese restaurants, you’ll really like this dish. It’s much healthier because it’s baked and not fried. I serve with Pbrr Ranch’s Chinese Take-out Fried Rice, recipe number 19345., Now, in its own right, this is very tasty stuff. However, I had expected something that tasted basically like sesame chicken from a Chinese restaurant. This has much more soy sauce flavor and is not very sweet. I followed the recipe just about exactly, perhaps baking my chicken a little longer. The sauce never thickened in the oven, so I poured it off the chicken and into a saucepan. I reduced it and made it thicker with some flour and that turned out fairly well. Did not garnish with the remaining 2 green peppers- I don’t think it needed it. I served this with Sue L’s Chinese Fried Rice (#38748) and, actually, substituted some of the marinated meat from this recipe that I sauteed in a pan for the meat in that recipe, which was quite good. As I said before, this is a tasty dish in its own right, it’s just not Better Than Take-Out., Wonderful dish!! The flavor is great and it was very easy to make. I suggest watching the cooking time closely. Our chicken was thinner and was a bit over done. We tried this along with the Fried Rice recipe you suggested and it was a winner too!
