Categories     Chicken

Time 45m

Number Of Ingredients 23

1 lb. chicken breasts, boneless and skinless
1 tablespoon salt
1 teaspoon ground black pepper
1/2 cup all purpose flour
2 eggs, beaten
2 cups Panko breadcrumbs
cooking oil spray
2 cups broccoli florets
2 cups cauliflower florets
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
2 tablespoons soy sauce
2 tablespoons liquid honey
1 tablespoon black vinegar
1/4 cup ketchup
1 tablespoon brown sugar
1 teaspoon cornstarch
1/2 tablespoon vegetable oil
1 teaspoon fresh garlic, minced
2 tablespoons sesame seeds
1 teaspoon green onions, finely sliced

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350F.
  • Pat dry chicken breasts completely with a paper towel and cut into 1-inch cubes. Place into a medium mixing bowl and season with salt and pepper. Set aside for at least 10 minutes.
  • In a large ziploc bag, add flour and cubed chicken. Seal the bag and shake well to coat.
  • Prepare a shallow plate with the Panko breadcrumbs and another with the beaten eggs. Dip one piece of chicken at a time into the egg wash and evenly coat it, then evenly coat in the breadcrumbs. The flour will stick to the chicken, the egg wash sticks to the flour, and the breadcrumbs will stick to the egg wash.
  • Arrange the breaded chicken on a large half sheet baking pan lined with parchment paper. Spray the chicken with cooking oil spray. This helps create a crispy crust on the outside during baking.
  • In a large mixing bowl, add broccoli, cauliflower, olive oil, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Toss to coat. Spread the vegetable mix in a single layer on one half of the same baking pan.
  • Bake the chicken with vegetables for 25 to 30 minutes until chicken is fully cooked. The internal temperature for the chicken should be 165F. Set the pan aside.
  • In a medium mixing bowl, add soy sauce, honey, vinegar, ketchup, brown sugar and cornstarch. Stir well to mix until cornstarch and sugar dissolves.
  • In a large wok or skillet, heat oil over medium heat for 2 minutes. Add garlic and sauté for 1 minute until fragrant. Turn down to low heat and stir in sauce mixture. Stir well until it thickens, about 2-3 minutes. Keep heat on low heat while stirring.
  • Add the cooked chicken and vegetables to the sauce pan. Toss to coat with the sauce. Sprinkle with sesame seeds and green onions.
  • Serve over a bowl of steamed rice.

SESAME-COATED SAUTéED CHICKEN BREASTS



Sesame-Coated Sautéed Chicken Breasts image

Here is a classic recipe from Pierre Franey's "60-Minute Gourmet," one that happens not to take quite that long to cook at all. Sesame was a novel ingredient for him, he wrote in 1981, introduced to him by the cooking of "the late Virginia Lee, one of the finest Chinese chefs I have ever met. She used a lot of sesame oil and sesame paste in her flavorings, both in main courses and sauces such as that which accompanies a Mongolian hot pot." Mr. Franey used sesame seeds as a coating quite a bit after that - on fish fillets, for example - and here adapted the idea to a main course, using whole, skinned, boned chicken breasts. "The dish turned out admirably in texture and flavor," he wrote. Even better, "it is certainly easy to make, involving nothing more than coating the breast halves with the seeds and sauteing them briefly on both sides in butter. There is a final touch, a light 'sauce' made of hazelnut butter to which a dash of lemon juice is added." (By that, Mr. Franey meant butter that is browned until it is hazelnut in color.)

Provided by Pierre Franey

Categories     easy, quick, times classics, main course

Time 1h

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 6

8 skinless, boneless chicken breast halves, about 1/4 pounds each, 2 pounds total weight
Salt to taste, if desired
Freshly ground pepper to taste
3/4 cup sesame seeds
7 tablespoons butter, approximately
Juice of half a lemon

Steps:

  • Place each chicken breast half between slices of wax paper or plastic wrap. Pound lightly with a mallet. Sprinkle with salt and pepper.
  • Dredge the pieces on all sides in the sesame seeds.
  • Heat three tablespoons of the butter in a large, heavy skillet and add the breasts in one layer. This may have to be done in two steps, or you may use two skillets. If two skillets are used, double the basic amount of butter. Cook about five minutes on one side. Turn and cook on the second side about five minutes. Then transfer them to a heated serving dish.
  • Heat the four remaining tablespoons of butter in a skillet and add the lemon juice. Swirl the butter around until it is hazelnut brown. Pour this sauce over the chicken breasts and serve hot.

Provided by Nargisse Benkabbou

Categories     dinner, lunch, poultry, main course

Time 1h

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

2 cups raisins
3 large red onions (about 1 pound), halved and sliced
4 chicken leg quarters (about 2 1/2 pounds total)
Generous 1/4 cup sliced almonds
Couscous or bread, for serving
1/2 cup vegetable stock
3 tablespoons olive oil
2 tablespoons honey
4 garlic cloves, pressed or finely chopped
3/4 teaspoon ground turmeric
3/4 teaspoon ground ginger
3/4 teaspoon fine sea salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon

Steps:

  • Heat the oven to 400 degrees. Soak the raisins in hot water for 5 minutes or until softened; drain and transfer to a deep roasting pan.
  • Make the marinade: Transfer the stock, olive oil, honey, garlic, turmeric, ginger, salt, black pepper and cinnamon to a large bowl; mix until smooth and well combined.
  • Add the onions to the roasting pan and pour approximately half of the marinade over the onions and raisins. Use your hands or tongs to combine.
  • Transfer the chicken legs to the large bowl with the remaining marinade and use your hands or tongs to make sure that the chicken is thoroughly coated. Place the chicken legs on top of the onion mixture, skin-side up, and pour any remaining marinade over the chicken.
  • Bake in the oven for 35 minutes. Remove the roasting pan from the oven and scatter the almonds on top. Return to the oven for another 10 to 15 minutes, until the chicken is cooked through and golden and the almonds are nicely toasted. Serve immediately, with a side of couscous or bread.

Tips:

  • Choose the right chicken breasts: Look for boneless, skinless chicken breasts that are about the same size so they cook evenly.
  • Use a good quality sesame oil: This will give the chicken a delicious nutty flavor.
  • Be careful not to overcook the chicken: Chicken breasts are very lean and can easily become dry if overcooked. Cook them until they reach an internal temperature of 165 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • Let the chicken rest before serving: This will allow the juices to redistribute throughout the chicken, making it more tender and flavorful.
  • Serve the chicken with your favorite sides: Rice, roasted vegetables, or a simple salad are all great options.

Conclusion:

Sesame baked chicken breasts are a delicious and easy-to-make meal that is perfect for a weeknight dinner. With just a few simple ingredients, you can create a flavorful and healthy dish that the whole family will enjoy. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy chicken recipe, give sesame baked chicken breasts a try!
