Healthier Pan-Fried Honey-Sesame Chicken image

This is a healthier version of honey-sesame chicken that's pan-fried instead of deep-fried--an easy, home-cooked meal that's salty, sweet, and a little bit spicy. It's a combination of flavors so deliciously right that you'll never think about Asian takeout again. Serve over rice or noodles, and garnish with sesame seeds and green onion slices.

STIR-FRIED HOISIN CHICKEN WITH SESAME SEEDS



Stir-Fried Hoisin Chicken With Sesame Seeds image

Simply delicious. Even my picky kids approved! I used black sesame seeds and it works out well. I think the white sesame seeds would offer a better color contrast in the dish. Frankly, I don't think the water chestnuts would be missed. Take care not to over cook, the veggies will be mushy and the chicken tough. Another great recipe from "The Big Book of Chicken" by Maryana Vollstedt. Great with my recipe for Thai Cucumber Salad recipe#415110 UPDATE: 5/11 I have made this several time since I first posted. Feel free to add mushrooms, pea pods, green beans, matchstick carrots or any of your favorite Asian friendly veggies.

Tips:

  • To make the best sesame chicken, use boneless, skinless chicken breasts that are cut into 1-inch pieces. This will ensure that the chicken cooks evenly and quickly.
  • To get a crispy coating on the chicken, double-coat it in the flour mixture. This will help the sauce to stick to the chicken and prevent it from becoming soggy.
  • Be sure to heat the oil to 350 degrees Fahrenheit before frying the chicken. This will help the chicken to cook quickly and evenly.
  • Do not overcrowd the pan when frying the chicken. This will cause the chicken to cook unevenly and become soggy.
  • Once the chicken is cooked, drain it on paper towels to remove any excess oil.
  • To make the sesame sauce, simply whisk together soy sauce, rice vinegar, sesame oil, brown sugar, and garlic in a bowl. You can also add a pinch of red pepper flakes for a little spice.
  • To serve, simply toss the cooked chicken in the sesame sauce and sprinkle with sesame seeds.

Conclusion:
