I served this dish over rice and it was delicious. The sauce was so flavorful that it really soaked into the rice.

I'm allergic to sesame seeds, so I substituted sunflower seeds instead. It worked out great!

This dish was a bit bland for me. I think it would have been better with some more spices.

The sauce was a little too sweet for my taste, but I was able to easily adjust it by adding some more lemon juice.

This dish is a great way to use up leftover chicken. I had some cooked chicken in the fridge and this was the perfect recipe to use it up.

I'm not a huge fan of curry, but this dish was surprisingly good. The lemon and sesame seeds really balanced out the curry flavor.

This dish was a hit with my family! The sesame-lemon-curry sauce was bursting with flavor and the chicken strips were cooked to perfection. We will definitely be making this again!
