Sesame Chicken
"Recently bought toasted sesame seeds. Of course I had to put the new ingredient to use as soon as possible. Searched in my cookbooks and found this recipe. It turned out very nice, thought I'd share it with you."

Yum! This was great, but really saucy! I'm not sure how that chicken breast in the first photo got so browned...ours baked in the sauce and came out kind of pale, but very delicious. This recipe also gets high marks for being easy! Served with mashed sour cream potatoes made this an unbeatable dinner... like something from a fine restaurant. Thanks for this winner! -
We really enjoyed this recipe. I fully intended to make as instructed but had a small helper (almost 3 yrs old) helping me measure. I ended up having to double everything after the mustard was squeezed a little too enthusiastically. lol So, in the end our chicken was pretty much poached in the sauce & came out really yellow instead of having that nice browned look that BK's photo shows. The extra sauce was really yummy though! :) We'll keep this recipe handy, as it's made with pantry staples. Thanks for sharing, Dudo! -
What a tasty chicken dish this was. The chicken was moist, tender, juicy and so flavorful. I love the blending of the toasted sesames, honey, lemon and mustard. It was perfect. I will definitely make this again. Thanks so much for sharing. -
My chicken breast turned out moist and juicy, but didn't brown up like in the pics. I put it back in the oven and spooned more of the sauce over it and let it cook some more to let more toasted sesame seeds coat it. I think you may need to baste this recipe every 5 to 10 minutes or so to achieve the desired results. Very easy recipe to make. Made for I Recommend Tag. -
This may be one of the best chicken recipes I've tried on this site. I loved it!!!!! I followed the recipe exactly except I cut it down for 1 chicken breast. I will be making this one ALOT! Made for Fall PAC 2012.
