Sesame Chicken

Hi Everyone, 

I wanted to share with you the Sesame Chicken that Eric and I made together awhile ago.  I received the recipe from Yummy. Healthy. Easy.

I will be honest, I don't really know what it is suppose to taste like but this was super sweet and not at all what I was expecting.  It was still good, Eric added some red pepper flakes and he was happy!

Ingredients

• 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into cubes
• 1/2 cup cornstarch
• 2 cups water
• 1/2 cup sugar
• 3 Tbsp soy sauce
• 3 Tbsp oyster sauce
• 3/4 tsp garlic powder
• 3 Tbsp cornstarch
• Broccoli florets
• Sesame seeds

Directions

Place cornstarch in large plastic bag with chicken and toss to coat.

Pour canola oil in bottom of a large skillet.  Brown chicken in skillet.

Mix water, sugar, soy sauce, oyster sauce, garlic powder and cornstarch in a small sauce pan.  Stir over medium heat until it thickens.

Pour over browned chicken and simmer for a few minutes.

Server over white rice and sprinkle with sesame seeds and broccoli.  If you want, you can steam the broccoli with the chicken for a few minutes but we were hungry!

Note from the Chef

This was not my favorite recipe ever and I don't think we will make it again.  When Eric has to add something to make it taste better, I take that as a hint that he doesn't really like it.

If you really want a great Chinese recipe, check out the Sweet and Sour Chicken I made.  YUM!

What do you think of the recipe?

Happy Cooking,

Alyssa
