Orange Sesame Chicken
- 2 whole Boneless, Skinless Chicken Breasts
- 4 Tablespoons Soy Sauce
- 4 Tablespoons Orange Marmalade
- 2 Tablespoons Sherry
- 1 teaspoon Crushed Red Pepper Flakes
- 1/2 teaspoons Ground Ginger
- 1 teaspoon Freshly Minced Garlic
- 3/4 cups Flour
- 1 Tablespoon Sesame Seeds Plus Extra For Garnish If Desired
- 3 Tablespoons Melted Butter
- Preheat oven to 350 F.
- 1.
- If you are working with bone-in chicken, remove the skin and debone.
- Once the meat is boneless and skinless, cut into 1 inch cubes.
- Place into a shallow bowl thats just large enough to hold the meat.
- 2.
- Combine soy sauce, marmalade, sherry, pepper flakes, ginger and garlic in a bowl.
- Pour approximately half of the mixture onto the meat.
- Reserve the remaining for the glaze.
- Refrigerate for 20 minutes.
- 3.
- After the meat has marinated, combine flour and sesame seeds in a resealable plastic bag.
- Remove the chicken pieces from the marinade and shake to remove excess moisture.
- Toss the chicken into the bag with the dry mixture and shake to coat.
- Place chicken onto a large baking sheet.
- 4.
- Pour the melted butter over the chicken and bake for 20 minutes, turning the pieces over after 10 minutes.
- 5.
- While the chicken cooks, pour the reserved liquid into a saucepan over medium heat and reduce by at least half until its a glaze consistency.
- 6.
- When the chicken is golden, remove it from the oven and toss with the glaze before plating.
- 7.
- Sprinkle additional sesame seeds for garnish.
- Note: I served this meal with a side of brown rice sauteed with stir-fried vegetables.
