Sesame Chicken

This is one of Todd's favorite dinners. He had this as a teenager at a friends house all the time. We emailed his mom many years ago and she shared the recipe with us! Now its my turn to share with you! It is always a hit with the kids and we usually have it over rice!

Sesame Chicken

• 3 or 4 chicken breasts
• 2 tbsp oil
• 1/4 cup sesame seeds
• 1/4 cup soy sauce
• 2 tbsp brown sugar
• 3/4 tsp ground ginger
• 2 cloves chopped garlic

Cut chicken into cubes or sometimes I do strips. In a large frying pan, combine sesame seeds and oil. Cook over medium low heat, stirring occasionally, just until seeds are golden (about 2 minutes). Let cool. In another bowl, combine soy sauce, sugar, ginger and garlic. When sesame seeds have cooled, add them to the bowl. Mix in chicken. Cover and chill for 1-4 hours.

Arrange meat with all of the marinade in a single layer in a 9 x 13 pan. Broil about 6 inches from the heat, until golden, about 10 minutes. Turn pieces over and continue cooking until chicken is no longer pink, about 5 minutes longer. Serve over rice!
