Sesame Chicken Recipe

Hey there! Sharing Zarie’s favorite dinner recipe with you! Honestly, it’s a crowd pleaser in The Patterson Household, and I hope your family will enjoy it as much as mine does.

Ingredients:

  • 2 lbs of chicken breasts ( you could use thighs), diced in about 1 inch pieces
  • Flour (enough to lightly coat your chicken)
  • 4 teaspoons of sesame oil
  • 4 tablespoons of olive oil
  • Steamed rice
  • Rice seasoning (HERE is a yummy brand)
  • 1/2 cup of soy sauce
  • 1/2 cup of sugar
  • 2 tablespoons of sesame seeds (I don’t always have these, but my rice seasoning has sesame seeds in it)
  • 2 cloves of freshly minced garlic
  • Thinly sliced green onion
  • Optional: 1 cup of veggies (we love to do broccoli and/or sliced red pepper)

Directions:

  1. Place oil in a skillet over medium heat until it’s hot enough to run quickly.
  2. Dredge chicken in flour and place in hot pan.
  3. Cook thoroughly (about 5-6 minutes).
  4. Add in your veggies.
  5. Mix sugar, garlic, and soy sauce.
  6. Pour mixture over chicken and veggies, and cook for another 2-3 minutes, to allow sauce to thicken.
  7. Add in sesame seeds, and serve over steamed rice.
  8. Garnish with rice seasoning and green onions.

I also love to add a few shakes of red pepper flakes to this recipe, to add a little heat!

That’s it, folks! So yummy, and much cleaner than ordering take-out! Enjoy, and be sure to share your yummy family meals with me on Instagram.
