I'm a vegetarian so I made this recipe with tofu instead of chicken. It was delicious!

I served this dish over rice and it was a perfect meal. The rice soaked up all the delicious sauce.

I made this dish with chicken thighs instead of breasts and it turned out great. The thighs were very juicy and flavorful.

I love the combination of sweet and savory in this dish. The orange and honey add a nice sweetness, while the sesame seeds and soy sauce add a savory note.
