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.
